Idle controller????

[Archive]

Ok I know somewhere I read about "setting" your rpm's at a certain level.

What is it, how do you do it and where can I get one?

I hope someone knows what I am refering to.

By reading the post I gathered that basically you start iy up and then set the idle at 1300rpm or so to warm up the truck??

I live very close to the Highway so if I could get it warmed up faster it would help (a powerstroke ALWAYS seems to be right there by the on ramp as I get on but I ain't at operating temp yet so I just let him go by).

Also while waiting for the truck to reach 190 degrees or so... is taking it to 2000rpm too much of a load on a cold engine?
Thx

I've got an electronic Idler from Diesel Services out of Sasquatchawan CN. It works great I push a button and then flip a toggle switch to set the rpms. I just push the brake and it turns it off. When I'm warming it up I run it between 1100 and 1200 rpms. This works fine and keeps the cylendars from cooling down. Hope this helps
