If you have a smarty it will automatically enable the high idle also. turn cruise on, press set and it should go to 1100. Then use accel to move up to 15-1600....

Yes,

place truck in P or N with the e brake on. Turn on cruise. Press SET. Engine should increase to 1100. Use accel to increase or decel to decrease. Press brake to disengage.

WOA!!!!

LOL...you are fine, anything over 1150 is good to idle at (i have been told) anything higher than that is intended for use on work trucks running external devices that require tons of power or a possible air pump running off the drive belt.

So another words, if I need to let me truck idle for longer than like 5 min or somthing, just use the cruise control and set it to like 1000prm?
