digital ford control box?

Ok I've tryed to look this digital readout box on the web with no luck.

This box mounted to the lower part of my dash @ the tranny hump
black with rpm control/charge protect/power/oval ford buttons along the top and ^v buttons on the right side.

This being my first diesel, I don't know what this controlers for.
Does it work power/torque setting's?

took a pic of it but can't seem to add it to the post.

If anyone has some input I would greatly appreciated.
Don't wanna start messin with it before I know what it's for lol

Thanks again
Eric

It controls RPM used for Hi Idle or for PTO on a service truck or to keep batteries charged on an Ambulance or similar vehicle.

Push your e brake on it has to be on for it to work then hit rpm then hit the ford button it should Idle up to whatever the prev owner has it set for you can turn it up or down with the arrows

Not sure why someone would have that on this truck.
Looks like all they did with the truck is towing, has a 5th wheel & goose neck ball with it.

Thank you for your info

Can't remember the price, but I saw a couple listings on E Bay for the Aux Idle Control boxes.
