10k Mod Question...

Hey guys after searching about this mod I just got done doing it like 5 minutes ago and wow, quite a boost in performance. Although I did not find how to wire it so that it turns off at idle, I would want this done automatically but I have not drove it much did not notice any rough idle we will see here in a few when I go somewhere. Anyways I noticed on my pedal there is a switch so I think I can tap into one of the wires that tells the computer when its idle and I could make it turn on/off there, but unsure and want to be clear if it can be done and how. Thank you.

I tried it as well a couple weeks ago. It seemed to delay my idle from dropping into normal idle for almost 25/30 seconds. And shook the motor a bit at idle. I took it out untill i read up. Was thinking about putting a relay on it and attaching it to the TPS somehow. But then parkland got me searching and i bumbled into this. I haven't studied up on it yet but it appears to turn itself off at idle. Ford Powerstroke Diode Clamp Mod

Check out this version. It may be less wiring and contraptions and have it work for you. I will look at it also in the near future.

Well took it for a drive and noticed what you were saying, not really a big deal at all but I think it would just be better to have to shut off at idle. I will read into that link thank you.
