My intention here is to be able to get the truck up to temp faster in the winter as well as creating a fast idle setting for long periods of idle where it is best to keep the oil pressure up and or when I am using a power inverter to power some electric appliance.
I am really interested in the idea of a jumper across the high idle solenoid with a switch in the cab. I would like my high idle to be about 1100 rpm if possible, which I saw someone did in one of the threads that Warthog was so kind to find for me. I think a switch would have a nice clean look in the cab, and be very functional. I'm not really sure that my high idle is working at all right now as I have not seen any difference in my idle speed at low temp and operating temp. I'll probably have to look into that first.
Has anyone set up a switch like this? If I can't figure it out, I'll probably just look for a hand throttle out of any number of applications.
I was talking about the MTVR 7 ton trucks, which are amazing vehicles BTW. I like how they just have a switch for high idle to get them warmed up or if your running your air compressor/generator/winch. That is the look/functionality I'm going for.
