Parking brake on, Didn't touch the brake or Accelerator pedal, Wait To Start light cyled, fired up, ran for about 15 minutes, still at 800 RPM.

UPDATE:
Fired the truck up this afternoon.
NO parking brake, just waited for the Grid Heaters to cycle, and hit the key.
Raised to 1200RPM after about 5 seconds of idling.

Did mine with the DRB3 Saturday,,
I started it up Sunday temp was 30 degrees about 15 seconds after start up the idle starting going up to about 1200,, BUT NO 3 cyl drop as far as I could tell,, Today I started her up,It was 8 degrees and it did the same thing up to 1200 RPM,THEN a Hellish noise WOW I thought the engine was going to spit a Rod out, Then I realized it was the 3 Cylinder option kicking in, Warmed the truck up in no time,,,, I Like It
