If you let your truck idle for any amount of time such as warming up in the morning it is a very good idea. I used to let mine idle here and there and pulled the egr valve and it was a sticky mess. I installed the high idle switch and let it idle a lot over a period of many months and it had a light dusting of carbon on it (look in my gallery for pics of the valve).

Here's the link: High Idle Mod
It is very easy to do, it only takes 30 minutes or so. You will have to do a little searching for the wires. The one above the parking brake may be taped up with several other wires that are open ended. Just grab a good flashlight and check it out. If you look at my gallery there is a picture of the switch I used from Pepboy's.
