FastZilly, you ain't seen NOTHING yet.

I'd have heated seats put in. Gurnee dodge knows a good shop, otherwise Riggs' Brothers is good. It's $100-200 a seat, and it's WONDERFUL in the winter. IMHO better than remote start.

Question

Can anyone confirm that the High Idle is available for 2003 model??

I've read a few posts that say it's not then some say it is.


Mine has a build date of Feb 2003.

Cheers

Sorry, you'll just have to upgrade to a new one


I think there's a TSB for fast idle (ECM controlled) - Geno's maybe...

my 03 was built in late 02, it the standard output version and it has the high idle. I just start the truck and shortly there after it ramps up to 1000rpms, when im ready to go i can just tap the break and it shuts off. So yes the 03 can have high idle

That is not the high idle being discussed. This one is manually adjusted by the cruise buttons up to 1500 rpms.

Unhappy Eligability for fast idle

I have an early 04. (build 11-03) I have no fast idle. I have tried the cruise control thing and I have also experienced temperatures below 32 as well. The idle is always 800 rpm. The fast idle would be useful for faster warm-up, but just as important would be the use of a hydraulic PTO, which appears to be an option with the 6 speed gearbox. I am confused, when I read the eligability statement on TSB 18-037-04, it appears valid for 04.5 vehicles only. Is that so?
Secondly, does that mean that there is a difference in computers between an 04 and a 04.5 and the 04s are not upgradable? Thirdly, I am in Germany, and no one over here appears to know how to do a TSB change. I do have access to a DRB3 and the CDs. Where do I find the instructions to perform these, if it is possible at all.

The TSB for your '04 is 004-04, the 037-04 is for '04.5s. The 004-04 is for automatics only. This is for the high idle feature controlled with the cruise control buttons.
