works good in the summer to cool off the truck and also when jumping people with dead batteries.

i use it frequently, but its damn near impossible to have a conversation next to my truck with high idle on

my 01 has a factory pto switch. that allows it to have a standby at 900 rpm(i think thats perfect) and also a 1250. my 02 didnt have the program in the tcm for it, it just has the 1250 and 1700rpm.

My boss has an 04 lb7 and gets jealous everytime my truck starts idling up on its on and he keeps telling me i need to figure out how to get his to do it. Is there a DIY kit or is it something that you have to buy a kit? Thanks

you can make your own swtich, you will need an ecm pin, wire, a switch, and a 12v source

i forget which slot in the ecm you have to put the pin in, ill look it up later.
