Dealer said no high idle.
So I took my truck to the dealership today to have the high idle turned on and to get my speedo recalibrated. I left with a sore ass and badd news.:moon: Shop guy says my truck doesnt have the high idle option. He said it had the 3 cylinder idle but he didnt turn it on. My speedo now shows 3 mph faster instead of 5 slower.:td: Sorry needed to vent. Is it true that my truck has no high idle.
Thanks |
The High idle is part of the software that Cummins put into the ecm, dodge did not use it. If someone near you has a SMARTY, all you have to do is upload any program onto your truck them return it to stock, and you will have the 3 cylinder and the high idle modes.

What he said, although the Smarty wont recal your speedo if you remove it.
|
Can my local dealer enable the high idle. Or if he enables the 3 cylener idle will this also turn on the high idle. I dont know anyone with a smarty.

Your dealer is a crackpot when it comes to diesels. But then again, most of em are. The high idle and three cylinder shuffle are all a part of the same update. Under a certain temp reading it locks out 3 cylinders and over that temp it only activates the high idle. Some place here on the site is a thread that tells exact temp ranges for each function and the flash number and info for the update.

I think, the dealer should be able to turn on the 3 cylinder/high idle. It only works when certain parameters are met. The high idle will rev the engine to 1200 rpm at a certain temp., while the 3 cylinder idle will turn on when it is colder.

I have to go back to get him to fix the speedo and when I do I will have him enable the 3 cylender idle and see if that works.
|
could you just go to a cummins dealer? i dont know if they do trucks. just an idea. or buy a smarty. or buy a ford :w2: nobody hit me lol
|
No cummins dealers nearby, and I dont really have a spare 600.00 for a smarty. No thanks on the ford offer, unless its got a cummins in it. :moon:
|
x3 you can do it with the smarty I had one in mine but i took it off and sold it. but i still have the high idle feature. Which is so nice
