Here is my lengthy write up on how to do it and build a manual high idle switch for it...
High Idle
And if you need to get the dealer to enable it... There is the TSB on it...
Dodge TSB
Basically like Luke said you can barrow a Smarty and enable it. But like myself there isn't anyone around here that owners a Smarty. I got lucky and Bob Wagner was gracous enough to mail me his personal Smarty to barrow.
As for my switches it wonderful to be able to select standard high idle or 3 cylinder at will. Like typically I'm out on a vehicle accident and need to leave my light and red beacon going for safety reasons. So it nice to kick the 2 switches and have high idle to keep the alternator going and EGT up to a manageable level!
(My truck is in the background - lights are running and high idle is up!)
As for the 3 cylinder mode. It drops 1,2,3 and runs on 4,5,6. This create4s much more heat rapidily. Without a exhaust brake it will create about 500-600*F worth of pyro. With a exhaust brake it can rise as far as 800-900*F worth of pyro as seen in my movies. This allows for FAST warm up under 10 minutes you'll have 170*F worth of coolant temp and it cancels automatically!
