High Idle?

Is there a way to wire a 7.3L up to like you can the 6.0L's for the high idle mod?

Yes, but it is more complicated than the 6.0. You have to wire into the pedal switches and through a pot and a switch. You can't do it by just connecting a wire.

Much easier to get DP-Tuner to flash your PCM or F5 chip

Yep! Try searching for posts by cookie88 with "idle" in them... I bet one could find info on it that way.

I just had dp-tuner burn a high idle tune to my chip instead. A little simpler, although not quite as inexpensive.

Wow, didnt know my brain worked this late at night. The one on the chip is nice and simple, if you have it. Cookies is adjustable though. Oh how I wish i had money right now....
