I've got a setup that works not bad. All it is is, a locking pull throttle cable mounted under the dash. I then drilled a small hole at the top of the "foot pedal arm", fed the wire through with a throttle stop on the other side. Must admit thoght, it's a little hard to get set, because the dash seems to give just enough that when I let go, the idle drops back down. A better set-up would be a cable that you can screw out the **** to fine tune. Another thing I"ve been kicking around is the thought of an "idle stop solenoid", used on some of the older carbed cars. The only thing is, I'm not sure if one could handle full power for 2 or 3 hours at a time. I'm thinking, mounting it under hood, with a bracket of some sort, mounted close to the throttle at the pump. Hit the toggle switch in the cab, giving power to the solenoid, it shoots out and up against the throttle to a preset RPM. If anybody has an idea if this would work, if one of these solenoids could handle it, let me know. It's not a big investment(solenoid at about 20 bucks) but if they'd only last a week, what's the point!

 

???Question for Slimchase. Ok, so your 2002 is different than my 2001? Mine is cable controlled from foot pedal to what I'm gonna call the throttle at the front driver side of the engine. I wouldn't have thought the 2002's were different. Let me know.

 

TGCTD: Ya, I think I'm gonna try it. I figure I'll pick up one of these solenoids, and just put it on a bench hooked to a battery for a few hours, see how it works out. I think it would be a pretty slick and easy way to do it, if it works. The only draw back I can forsee, is that there wouldn't be a real easy adjustment to it, without getting under the hood to change where it's set. Anyhoo, I'll let everybody know when I try it as to how it's working out. It won't be for awhile though, as the truck is in the shop about 900 miles away, and won't be getting it back for about a week!
