normal idle speed

My 02 2500 quad 4x4 idles at 875 or so and while going down a steep slippery hill the other day in hi 4 I nearly lost control.<br>I have been told by the dumbest guys on earth(Dodge service<br>department) that I cannot lower the idle speed. Anybody agree?

Re:normal idle speed

On the new ones the idle speed is set by the computer. You can put in lo and it will idle up anything. I dont think there is anyway to adjust the computer to where it will lower the idle

You don't want to reduce idle speed too much or you may run into oil pressure problems. <br><br>JMHO

Re:normal idle speed

I bet using 4 low would cure that problem. Must have been steep.
