High Idle
I went to the dealer today and had my high idle set. $84 But i was reading more about it and it says
intake manifold temp must be inder 32 degrees coolant temp under 140 I guess what i am asking about is there any way to fool the intake manifold temp. So i could get heat faster when the temp is below 140. |
Well thats the part that sucks you have to meet all the permissives for it to kick in. I would think there would be a way to fool it - but arent smart enough to know how.
|
Just sit tight, I'm working on that :)
All I need to find are the connectors for the IAT and ECT to finish the project. I've got my wiring diagram worked up to where you can select high idle or 3 cyl shutdown at any temp as long as the other parameters are met. |
im just waiting for one of the brand name companies to come out with a plug in box that just plugs into the APPS and is a high idle controller
|
The other kicker is that if you have if plugged in at all for a while before you start it up, the high idle doesn't come on.
At least on mine it doesn't. So that leaves me with the stick in throttle option.... |

These guys have them but they are stupid expensive for what you get: http://www.dieselservices.com/html/d...e_ram_p137.cfm |
Why muck with the electricals? Just install an exhaust brake. Idle all day with it engaged.

Good call on the exhaust brake - much better than the high idle since they actually put a load on the engine. But again, not cheap and not exactly good on autos. |
some guys on DTR were building them last year.
i want a one that comes ready to plug and play tho, those guys had to go in and tap a few of the APPS wires, and i dont like that, i want a male-female type plug that goes inline on the APPS |
DR. Evil, sure but for $1300 or so you get the high idle AND a break. Otherwise you spend $500 + to just get heat and potential of electrical error.
It would work with an auto if you put it in neutral? I thought this was the case but maybe not. |
