Great, thanks!

 

I started mine the other morning, it was cold, snow was drifted across windshield slightly, I left the snow on the windshield and went back into house. a few minutes later the 3 cyl kicked in and I watched and in 16 minutes I could see that the snow was starting to melt on the windshield. Never seen it get that warm just sitting in yard.

 

about how lond does the program take to load, if the dealer dose it. i talk with them the other day and the want a hour of laber to do it. just want to know before they charge me an hour for 5 mins of work. thank matt

 

under 5 minutes.

 

Forget the sound it makes coming out of your exhuast... the motor sounds like every main went and a rod or two is going to come thru the block. Atleast it did to me the first time I heard it.

 

This neat little flash comes with the Smarty. Now if y'all live somewhere near St.Paul I'd be more than happy to load this thing for you. It's so cool to hear the 3 cyl that I can't wait for the really cold weather. haha

All I ask is for a hot cup of Folgers coffee not too strong for this high zoot install.

 

Too bad, I would drive there in a sec with a whole pot. Had a hit and run on my fiancee's car so headed right by a dealer, going to get their "estimate."

 

Nope your truck is all updated.

 

Mine did kill itself this morning. Oh well still a very useful feature.

 

One dealer wants 40 bucks to do it. and another dealer wants 30 bucks. Anyone in the louisville ky area have a smarty?

 

Might save lots of questions by reviewing the parameters involved in the High Speed Idle. (I bookmarked them in 2003)....

Once enabled, idle speed will slowly ramp up from 800 rpm to 1200 rpm when all of the following conditions are met:

1. Intake Manifold Temperature less than 0°C/32°F (not just outside air temp).... and,
2. Coolant Temp is less than 60°C (140°F) and,
3. The Transmission is in Neutral or Park and,
4. The Service Brake pedal is not depressed and,
5. Throttle = 0% and,
6. Vehicle Speed = 0 mph

Additionally, if Intake Manifold Temperature (IMT) is less than -9°C (15°F), and all of the parameters above are met, three of the cylinders will be shut off upon reaching 1200 rpm, creating a slight change in engine sound which is normal. This allows the engine to create increased heat in the cooling system, allowing more rapid engine warm up and cab heating.

Both features will automatically disable when one of the following occurs:

1. The Automatic Transmission is placed in gear (forward or reverse) or,
2. The Service Brake pedal is depressed or,
3. Throttle position is greater than 0% or,
4. Vehicle Speed is greater than 0 mph or,
5. Coolant Temperature is greater than 79°C (175°F).

Engine speed will return to normal operation at 800 rpm. If the engine continues to idle and coolant temperature is at or below 60°C (140°'F), the feature will reenable. In order to operate properly, the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) must stay at idle.

NOTE: ANY TYPE OF AFTERMARKET IDLE SPEED KICKER THAT ACTIVATES THE APPS WILL DISABLE THIS FEATURE.

Use of the 110V block heater will not allow the feature to function after an overnight soak. If the vehicle is left idling, without use of the block heater, 1200 rpm operation will begin when the intake temperature drops below O°C (32°F) and coolant is less than 60°C (140°F).

 

Here is the TSB for it.

I know this has probley been asked before but I have a 2002 3/4t 4x4 6 speed manual H.O. will the high idle and 3 cyl tsb work for it my local dodge dealer says he has never heard of it.

 

Yup! Any 98.5 CTD or newer!
