so what year truck do you have, and does your truck have the high idle on it(through the cruise control)???

 

Mine is a 2005. Its had it from the start with CC.

The 03's can have the idle up feature activated with a BDTD. I wonder if any of the Bully dog products for the 2nd gens would give it back to you?

 

well i had the dealer enable the automatic high idle.... they said they never heard of anything... i had to force the guy to do a lil reasearch... im gonna take the TSB to him tomorrow and have him take a look at it, and im not gonna pay him until i go out there and actually try it myself.... illl report what i get tomorrow... that is if i can get an app...

 

Be interesting to hear if the TSB's are still valid.

 

gee thanks for the encouragement... not to mention the redneck dealership i have out here, has anyone heard of Mountain Home Auto Ranch...bunch of dumb A$$es!

 

LMFAO!!! That's where I bought my truck if you be talking Idaho.

I had to tell them about the idle up feature on the manuals and how to activate it. Not to mention explaining to the salesmen the 48RE is NOT made by Allison and its NOT a 5 speed. Good times!

A couple of the salesmen used to call me periodically and ask me questions about the trucks when they didn't know.

About a month after I bought the truck I stopped by to shoot the breeze. Mentioned to the salesman that sold me the truck that it was broke. He immediately got the sales manager and they wanted to know the problem. I told them it had to be broke cuz it was getting 22 mpg running back and forth to Lewiston.

I think they took my name in vain after I left. No better or worse than most of them in my experience.

 

HA no way!!! ya im military out here at Mountain Home AFB. jsut got here in september are you still out here?

 

Moved to Georgia in 2008. Spent 9 years in MH and Boise working for IT companies till the economy went sour.

 

ahh ok! ya when i tried the first time, i had to explain what a high idle was, and what it was good for. practically had to force the tech to do a lil research... so as of right now i have the automatic high idle, and if its really cold(only heard it kick in once) the 3 cylinder high idle....

 

well i called the dealership in boise and talked to a tech that ive heard was good. i gave him the TSB # and he said that it was for a generic program thingy.... basically not what we were hoping for! so "no_6_oh_no" guess were back to square one...

 

Huh? Offhand I would say he pulled the wrong TSB. I would print them out and take them with you if you are interested in pursuing it. It is a generic program thingy, to get all the Dodge functionality activated. Sometimes the semantics get garbled in translation.

 

I aint be able to find a dodge dealership that has a diesel mechanic worth a pile of cow manuare .

 

ya well it norm dont get tooo cold up here, but like tonight its 15 and with the windchill its down to -8... i dont care who you are, thats COLD!!! id rather be back in Iraq when it was 134!
