stock idle settings

Hi all, after installing bhaf i notice that at cool down time the truck seem to be idling a little faster than before, which i guess is an indication of better combustion .......so the tach seems to indicate about 850 what is fact for stock 700? tks

850 is a nice idle speed for a 5 speed truck. They are a lot smoother up there. Automatics have a tendancy to creep so you have to keep them idling slower.

Dodge spec is 700 in drive with A/C on for an auto, 750 with A/C on for a manual.
