I'm looking for A fast idle control I can connect to A switch to turn on fast idle when I want to, just like I have on my 6.0.

Is the High Idle mod for the 6.0 the same as the 6.4?

Under the dash on the drives side, just up by the emergency brake is two sets of wires with blunt ends. One set is for the PTO, and the other is for the upfitter switchs. The yellow wire w/ green tracer is in the PTO wires, and the brown is in the upfitter switches wires. Connect the two together thats it. They are right beside each other. Put on the emergency brake and put the truck in park - flip the #4 switch and it will high idle to 1200.
