Would there be a way that I could connect this to a remote start module, so when I remote start my truck it will automatically kick it into high idle?
Just a tip when installing, there is a second wire clipped on to the ecm cover that you will need to take off to expose the ecm
Hey this is my truck!!
Will this work on an 07 classic lbz?
At first I doubted that I can install this kit. I installed it following the instructions. It works great on my truck! I'm actually proud of myself for installing this kit.
Shouldn't you disconnect the batteries first?
I like this trick thanks. But I like to sit in my truck and idle often while my dog runs at the beach so what did you mean a higher idle is better for long periods of time? Maybe when resting and trying to keep warm letting the heat run?
Does the parking break have to be set for it to work
Will this mess up my cruise control when I’m hauling ass Down the highway?
great vid wish new this 16 yrs ago mine has fact cruise but no high idle always wonder why any answers to why not
Extremely helpful and good quality video! Thumbs up
After connecting to the brake switch do you just leave the leftover wire there?
My truck already has a factory wire on pin 71. What does that mean?
where do i get this product ?
I've watched a few videos on installing these and a few of them really recommend using a toggle switch to completely kill the power to the high idle. what is your opinion ?
The high idle switch worked for about 3 months and now it is touchy and only wants to work when it feels like it it'll go up to 1200 rpms and then kick off on its own. Also can't rev the truck past 1800 rpms in park/neutral.. Sometimes it will stay on and work great but for the most part it'll just shut off, checked connections they are tight.
Question: Should you disconnect both batteries before starting this procedure?
will this effect crews control?
Will your cruise control still work after install

Hey that's gregory543210 truck
I installed this in my 02, works great! Only thing I noticed was is lowered my rev limiter to 2200 from 3200 in park?
awesome video
How is it "less hard" on the engine to idle at a higher rpm for an extended period of time. Wouldn't it be better for the truck to idle at a lower rpm?
