Wink Silly wifes...

My wife rode in my truck last night for the first time since I installed the AIC. She asked if I was going to add any more stuff inside the cab after that, because "its starting to look like an airplane cockpit in here instead of a truck."
I need to show her pics of CSIPSD's interior

So, some kind of variable idle ****?? I was going to do that, but when I switched to Tony's tunes, it was an easy decision to add High-Idle since I had all the performance reburns I wanted and still had a slot left...

No, its a factory Ford Item used alot in tow trucks and other commercial apps. It has a digital read out that you can ajusts, gives the RPM's and such... Very slick little unit.
