Just looked at mine, for the ICP it's blue with a green stripe. So, like the one that's not taped up on his picture.

I got, I jammed it in the "mouth of the face". I just did a quick down and dirty 10k w/connectors. I have a 4.7 made up and was thinking of maybe putting in 2 toggles to get factory OR 4.7 OR 10 OR 14.7. what do you think?
btw the 10K is a very cool mod! I think it idles higher too.

I tried to post the 2 switch diagram I drew on "Paint" but I cant

If you put a switch in, you will need to shut the truck off to switch back and forth. From what others have said if you don't it will throw a code

I just drove with several combinations in and picked the one I liked best. Hopefully I'll get a chip soon and I'll just be taking it off.

OK, I did not know that. I had envisioned me flippen switches on the fly. I think what I am going to do is do 2 switches with a 10K and a 4.7K mounted in a weatherproof single gang box thrown under the hood somewhere. I am going to get tuned up eventually and I will lose the resistors then. I don't want to go through the firewall if I don't have to. What do you think?

I'd try a 20k combo too. Try 4.7k, 10k, 14.7k, and 20k and see which ones are best for your truck.

Just get a 0-20k potentiometer... then you can adjust it infinitely between those 2 points.

If you run them in series it will make a 20k. In parallel it'll still just be 10k.
