Hi there, I have a 2003 F350 drw and noticed in the order guide there was a high idle option you could order. Can this kit still be ordered from the dealer? Here are the specs on the kit:

NOTE 1: Requires Power Stroke® diesel engine and stationary

use only.

NOTE 2: Kit shipped in box to vehicle operations for "in cab"

shipment.
