High Idle - Can it pose any problems? Quick response plz.

I set my idle yesterday, because I felt it was too low. truck didn't like the air conditioning being on and the clutch engaging weakly.

So i set it visually between the 750? and 1000RPM mark on the dash.

I know thats not very accurate.

But it has a higher idle sound and such.

Clutch engages quick and smoother, air runs fine.

So, I ask - are there any problems associated with this?

I'm just not used to hearing it run at that higher idle.

LMK quick if you can.

Else, I'll set it lower.

With the manual, I don't see a problem. .I have mine set to 850 with the air on by photo tach on the damper.
