17+ Superduty 6.7 | HIGH Idle Up-Fit | HOW TO

[@jimmywhat1474]

Some things to note: I just did this on my 2022 psd tremor, Ford has since moved the through wires to where they are really convenient, the ones inside the kick panel are right next to the harness, then under the hood they are right of the three big ecu harnesses tucked under them next to the firewall behind the fuse box you removed with the aux wires. So don't rip out your fender liner for absolutely no reason like I did 😆 also, there are TWO yellow with green wires and that was not discussed. Wire #7 is the yellow/green wire you need for a diesel, the other yellow/green wire is for a gas engine applications. Great video otherwise. And props to Ford for Making it more accessible!

Awesome! I helped my brother install this on is 2018. I installed a resistor to set the max idle speed then added a potentiometer so he could fine tune to the exact RPM he wanted. That way he can easily modify it to another RPM if he wants.

You can also buy a plug and play wiring module to do this , it install's in a minute on the passenger side where your pass-through wires are . Just plug -in and you are ready to go . They sell for about $120, wish I new this before installing a potentiometer on the driver's dash which took me over 8 hours work.

[@jasontobbe2862]

Winter time it is better on the engine to high idle it. Keeps the cylinder walls from getting cold and the atomized fuel from collecting on it. This will eventually cause cylinder wall scoring. This is called wet stacking.

[@JaegerWrenching]

High idle is awesome for older trucks, but there isn't really a need for it with newer trucks without some sort of PTO being utilized for a few reasons. First we have high idle on cold starts which decreases idle with increasing coolant temp. Second, we have a lot higher fuel pressure and maps that change it based on things like engine temp, CA temp, and fuel temp. Thirdly the injectors them selves have a finer spray pattern which aids in atomization of the fuel delivery along with cylinder head design and how good the swirl currently is with them. Couple that with EGR and now you have a warm inert gas helping to heat the incoming air further decreasing the fuels rate to full atomization. Not to mention the supplementary heaters most of these new trucks have will rapidly heat the engine coolant keeping the cylinder walls plenty warm even in extreme cold at a lower idle :)

[@JaegerWrenching]

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Lol it wasn't directed at you my dude, it was simply about correcting miss information about cylinder wash or wet stacking on newer diesels. Which is why it's under this comment. Wet stacking is a pre EGR issue more than anything. I simply said there wasn't a need for it! I never said don't do it! I'm all about having fun and making your truck the way you want it! Do it if the sound alone makes you happy! We just need a better EGR system that doesn't plug up after a while. Like recirculating the exhaust gas after the DPF instead of before.

So do you have any videos on say wiring headache rack spot lights to one of those switches? Are they like the 6.4 where the switches are powered already and you just need to connect the dead headed switch wires under the steering column to one of the pass through wires then grab it again behind master cylinder or are the new Super duty switches powered up right underneath that fuse box you pulled up under the hood?

I have a alumaduty.. (well getting it Tuesday ) getting rid of my 6.4. The uppfitter switches on the 6.4 required you to splice into the upfitter switches under the steering wheel to a set of wires to pass through into the engine bay in order to power anything with them, but looks like the alumaduty already passes powered wires into the engine bay under that fuse box, am i correct?

Your videos are so helpful. Unfortunately with this one I'm a bit confused, hate that and having to ask stupid questions. Why are these (pass through wires) need? Aren't the upfitter switches already pre-wired? If I want to install other things such as, lightbar, backup light, air compressor, maybe even a train horn, will I have to tap into the pass-through wires to wire each of those things? Seems like if a guy has to use those passes through wires in conjunction with the upfitter switches you're going to run into a problem where there are 6 upfitter switches and only 4 pass through wires?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Pass through wires are just 4 wires that go through the firewall it doesn't have anything to do with the upfitter switches now if you wanted to control something that you needed to hook up on the inside with an upfitter switch I suppose you could do that

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

6:04 Your thumb is under "BU/WH" which is Blue/White not Brown/White. Brown is "BN" so you hooked it up using the BN/WH wire and it says it is for PTO REF whatever that means. I guess it still worked so go figure. Also, why wouldn't you hook it up to upfitter 5 or 6 since the truck must be on to effect idling anyway? Finally, of the 4 wires that Ford was kind enough to run from engine compartment to cab, why not use the smallest diameter and save the larger wires for something in the future that might require more power? Anyway, I really don't know the answers to all this, those are just some observations. I'm no wiring wizard but I'd like to save my heavier/live upfitter switches (but I can see how easy it is to change all 6 to live all the time) for other things.

High idling = not idling. Per some "expert" opinions on the subject of extended idling cite "fuel wash" of the cylinder walls leads to excessive wear. Nope .. I can't defend that .. but easy to find on Da-Tube. No diesel expert but I was influenced. As brother ARod (Jedi Master) has stated, faster warm ups is one reason I use high idle. And when jump starting a vehicle is another. And in general .. it's a under $5 hack and 30mins .. so for me it was a "hey, why not" Great episode ARod!

Hi Arod. I think I live in your approx area Im in Brighton MI. DO you perform work like this for people or do we need to go through a certain dealership you work for ? Got quite a few jobs I think Im gonna want to hire you for if I can on my F450 6.7. Ive been binge watching your channel videos and Im about to start in the RV transport industry so gonna be putting a lot of miles on my Precious. Shes a 2019 currently with 16K miles Cheers mate.

Something weird is happening with the 22’s with high idle. There is a low growl that kicks in when idle up. Kinda sounds like the fan but it’s not. It’s like a waste gate is opening. Have a thread going on at ford-truck with a bunch having the same thing.

How does this affect DPF filters? From what I understand, idling for too long is not good for a DPF filter either way. Having said that, I would assume a higher idle would be better ?

Everything's the same to your video and checked Ford Q-256R1 Bulletin and confirmed its the same. I'm getting nothing, flip aux 2 switch and nothing. Fuses are fine almost positive connections are fine all butt spliced or soldered. Not sure what to do. Seems like a simple mod but giving me problems.
