anybody know if subdieselmech is manufacturing these high idle modules?

 

Ahh yes, I did abandon this thread. I am going to do a MkII of this little device and a complete pictorial dissemination. Give me a few weeks though, it's not cold enough here to warrant jumping right into this yet....

very intresting thread and great info

 

As a side note, I have a high idle box on my 01 as well. I also have a remote start module. I was able to get the remote start aux button on the remote to kick on my high idle. Also, I mounted the box and switch behind the dash and relocated the LED and adjustment **** to my a pillar gauge pod.

 

[QUOTE=Cspotrun;1290161] I suppose you could put the enclosure with the POT in the cab but your adding wire length and thus resistance to the cicuit. QUOTE]

I was thinking about putting the switch and Pot. in the cab as part of the dash. With the added wire, how much more resistance would that make? should I just put only one 1K risister in line with the Pot. to make 11K?

 

The extra resistance should be negligible..

 

hmm, I'll have to give things a try and see. Now, to make sure I understand this. The more resistance, the closer you are to the APPS being at idle?

 

Well, I used the idea and put the controls in my dash. I got it working, but I can only bring the engine up to 1400rpm. Not a problem really, I was just thinking it was going to have the potential to go higher. Over all, I'm happy with it.

 

rodram,

can you post pics of the install & dash control mounting?

 

Is there any actual high idle kits you can buy with an in-cab adjustment **** rather than making one yourself?

 

here is how I put it in my dash.

 

I put mine here. Mounted the box under the dash. I activate mine via my remote start remote.

 

i wish i had a clue how to build one of these...i rarely drive my truck in the winter now, but i would like it more for letting the truck sit in the pits at a pull and making sure the motor is up to temp for headgasket saving purposes

 

i just got my high idle switch installed today and i had a couple of questions. first off i started with a 10k pot like said above and it would only raise 50 rpms so i tried a 5k and it will go up to 1200rpms with the pot turned all the way to the left, but when i turn it the other way somewhere in the middle it goes to normal idle speed then if i keep turning it, it goes back up to 1000rpms. so my question is do you think this is a bad pot or do i have something wrong?

 

if i am going to run the pot and on/off switch into the cab - does that eliminate the need for the project box?
i am dumb when it comes to wiring. . . .
the rotary dial i see in some pics - is that attached to the pot?
if anyone has time to do a write up on this mod and really dumb it down (ie. APPS High Idler for Dummies!) that would help me out a lot, and i'm sure others would like it also. . . (i don't know how to read wiring diagrams, but can follow directions really well)

thanx in advance. . .
