I think All you have to do is touch the throttle and it stops doesnt it? you could also just plug it in.

According to the letter posted some years back from a Dodge Corp rep the way they sound was the main reason the factory turned this Cummins feature off. To many folks got mad cause they're trucks were fallin apart, they thought.

I hate to plug the truck in cause if I do the high idle won't kick in and it takes forever for the truck to warm up.

I agree with ya there. They will never warm up at normal idle. But it's to early in the season for the 3 cylinder to kick in.
