Re:IDLE Throttle Control

Well, Im not sure what your looking for... <br>I used a PVC pipe and modified one end to fit agains the pedal.<br>I wedge the other end against the drivers seat leg near the floor.<br>This puts the idle about 1100 - 1200 or so.<br>I also place the truck in &quot;N&quot; (auto tranny) to warm up the tranny fluid as well.<br><br>Also, if you search this site for &quot;Fast Idle Stick&quot; you find a previous thread with many ideas and much info.<br><br><br>Heres a pic of my fast-idle stick.<br><br>Rich

Re:IDLE Throttle Control

I mounted a solinoid to the gear case with a bracket and ran the wire to the fog light switch. To set it you have to throttle up with the foot pedal , then push your switch and it will hold. It works well; mine's set at 1250 rpm. Hope this helps.<br>Andy
