I am not sure to be honest. All I have heard is that for a manny tranny, you have to get a wiring harness from Dodge that costs a few bucks. I would think it would need to be enabled by the star scan as well.

If you get it done, let us know your results. I have mine which is an auto tranny, and man I love it. Good luck. Wish I could have helped more.

here is a cut and paste from one of my other posts. you don't need any extra parts for the high idle on the manual tranny. just do what i stated below and it will work.

"i have written about it many times on several sites. here are instructions and a link....

you don't need any extra parts to enable the high idle on a manual trans!! i did mine and have posted how to do it before (on other forums). you need to have the dealer enable it, just like on the auto trans. the only other step is to ground the one wire. the wire is located on the firewall. driver side, far left bottom firewall. basically if you go staight back from the emergency brake handle to the firewall, you'll see a large wire harness, white in color. you can unhook that harness, and behind it there is a very short (4 inches maybe) dark green wire coming through the firewall. the wire has a heatshrink cap on the end. strip the end of the wire and ground it to one of the two bolts next to the harness. that's it! let me know if you need more info. you'll need your flashlight to see that little wire back there. that's it folks no money on any parts. that wire is for the optional clutch safety switch. it is really not needed, as the transmission has to be in neutral and the emergency brake set, in order for the high idle to activate. if you touch the brake pedal, release the emergency brake or put it in gear, the high idle will disengage."

you can get the optional clutch safety switch from cummins, but it is really unnecessary. no the truck won't start in gear. that is different safety switch on the clutch that is not altered by the high idle. you will still need to have the parking brake set, and foot off of the brake in order to enable the high idle. the only thing different, is that you will be able to depress the clutch and the high idle won't cut off. you have to either touch the brake pedal or release the emergency brake.

well i succesfully enabled my high idle, i did go with grounding #22 connector which i think it was the safest way. my gf and my dad sometime drive the truck and for a $20 pice i thought it was worth it.
thanks for the help.

Can someone explain to me the purpose of having the high idle. is it for quick warm ups or another reason.

it prevents wet stacking and carbon buildup from low temp idling, and it lets you run equipment off of the pto. faster warmup is an added benefit though.

thanks for the help.

just curious, but what were you worried about your dad or gf doing? even without grounding #22 and doing it as i stated, they can't start the truck in gear. the high idle turns off if you touch the brake or release the emergency brake. what was i missing?

it was just a personal preference and did not bypass any switches.

Ok hate to be a pain here, but does anyone have a picture that they may send me or post.

I can't seem to locate this green wire. I pulled the harness loose from the mount just to the left of the clutch pedal and looked all around in there and can not find it.
