Default toggle switch high idle

was wondering if there was a way to hook up a toggle switch to turn high idle on/off. i do not have cruise control so i cant do it that way... i would like to use my factory exhaust brake button for the switch since i do not have the stock turbo anymore and the button is useless.... anyone have any idea how to do this?

Cruise is what controls the High Idle.

yes the high idle is controlled by the turn the cruise on and use the resume and decel buttonsto raise and lower the idle. i know on my 08 there was a wire under the dash that has to be grounded. once that wire is grounded and you have to have it flashed by a dealer or some tuners will allow the high idle. im running smarty and mine works great also the e brake has to be on.

Brk I'm sure you can some how. cause all the trucks can be rigged up for pto and thats what the high idle is actually for. It may be worth talking with a company that installs dump beds and such. Be cause they should know how too turn it on.

So since I already have the Smarty and mines a manual, I just need to ground the wire out? And that fog light high beam sounds kinda nice to have too. I might have to get that done
