What's it at now?

Here's a pic of where you adjust it. Just loosen the nut then loosen the bolt to idle it up. Then tighten the nut back.

Turning up the idle higher isn't good for a auto trans because in slams into gear a bit too hard, and if your truck is a manual it will want to roll alot faster w/o touching the pedal.

turning it up isn't a good idea
