Why not just drill a hole in the bracket above the go pedal? Ive started this on my 12V - need to find a 1/4" eye bolt. Ive got a cable as well. IMO, theres no real need to go right through the firewall.

Yes it would work for warmup (you could probably let if run all day if you had an exhaust brake) but if you want to actully use the exhaust brake to slow the truck its hard on the input shaft (they recomment a billet input shaft with an Exhaust Brake) as well ther is some kind of lockup controller required.

Yeah here is the tough one... IAT sensor...
I've been looking for the connectors... I know someone makes it...
But what BossHogg is trying to do is create a fooler box that fools the ECU to thinking the truck is cold (<140*F) and IAT (<32*F) and cause the high idle software to come on.
What I do know that if you unplug your IAT lead and put a 65K resistor in it (Blue, green, orange, gold) it will kick the 3-cyl high idle. With a exhaust brake it wil drive the Pyro as high as 800*F-850*F right now!
Now that will keep your truck warm no matter what!
In my field of work I respond to may fire calls sometimes with my own truck. Lot of times I got to leave it idling with the beacon lights running but that worries me about gumming up the valves... The fooler box would be worth it...

Yea I do but my pyro sits at 250*F maybe 300*F...
With just high idle and a exhaust brake I get about 500-650*F in pyro...
With 3 cylinder idle and exhaust brake I get about 800-850*F in pyro...
Personally I would like to keep it above 400*F knowing that most all oils have a flash point about 400*F... So high idle and a jake would do it...

Dont you have an exhaust brake?
Throw the exhaust brake on and you can idle all day Mike.
