That's a beautiful truck! I always think it's funny when vehicles have a feature already built into the harness that is simply not hooked up. On the second gen Dodge's that were factory without tachs, all you have to do is throw a cluster with a tach in and it works. My buddy has a 2013 Tacoma without intermittent wipers, he bought a multi-function switch from a truck that had intermittent wipers, changed it out, and what do you know - it worked. Funky stuff.

I opted out of the PTO wire and went for the battery protection mode (purple/light green) wire or something same concept except it doesn't lock up the torque converter. Good for warm ups and jumping off other vehicles.

My first day hello all My father said there's no Such thing as a dumb question But it might seem silly too Some of you that Are far more knowledgeable.What is the high Idle good for Does it help your e g r Prevent coking For extended periods at Idle

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Come to think of it My 2002 7.3psd used to bump up to high idle after idling for several minutes but I've just realized that it no longer does that hence I use a stick of wood to do so.

Is it normal for a truck to go into high idle by itself, when I start my 04 6.0 sometimes it goes into high idle on its own until I step on the break and it goes back to normal

[@kenuber4014]

I could have swore you said fast and easy! Not a job for most owners. Lol

[@jbadger1458]

Does this work on a 2003 6.0 Excursion too?

This is the first of your videos that I've seen. I watched it two days before I had to reverse flush my oil cooler and clean the system. You saved me two hours of driving around trying to keep the engine at operating temps for the cleaning. I covered the radiator to resist cooling and used my new high idle switch to generate operating temps. Thanks for saving me fuel and time!

This will definitely come in handy with a toggle switch. Sometimes the cb linear amplifier needs more juice. No more holding the pedal.

[@superdave2316]

Just letting you know that the 05 and 06 trucks use the purple wire.

Those doing heavy alternator abuse pulling big amps, those that want colder AC when it's hot, those that want faster warmups in winter, this is a MUST have mod.

I've had this truck for 8 years - never knew! Great video! Thanks!

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Excellent topic for a video! I am sure this will help a bunch of folks out! (And so easy to add!) Thanks Brian!

[@eastonruppe5730]

Haven’t found a great how to video on this. Looking forward to doing this now. Thank you!

[@kraner1446]

thank you so much for this after watching your video i was able to do high idle for my 6.0 in less than 5 minutes

[@1953fords]

I wonder if excursions have these wires? Now I’m gonna have to look. Thanks 👍🏼

[@JosephMayberry-i4g]

I had an 06 f250 and switch

[@davidcrumrine1165]

Seems that everything i have used those connectors on i have had to go back within a year and fix again. After having to rewire 4 custom truck beds i decided it was more cost effective to use shink crimpers and i still put shrink wrap over the shink crimp connectors.
