Hey Colton,

I just did mine yesterday because I was idling around 500 RPM in drive without the AC on. I looked around and found a few of these tutorials. One tip I recommend is to sit on the radiator support and look down the driver side of the block and you can see behind the linkage really well. Its a vertical bold that has a lock nut on the bottom side and the top bolt is on top of a little metal piece that is connected to the injection pump. Read over the tutorials a few times before you jump into it. Idle should be set around 750-800 in Drive WITH the AC on. Good luck!

One tutorial:

And another with pictures. I recommend this one.
