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

I built one for my '02 7.3. Works well too.

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.
