On my '07 6.7 the high idle comes on only when its cold out, i hit the exhaust brake switch for faster warm up. I haven't tryed hitting the cruise button but i will try and that may work.

 

The dealer has to use the STARSCAN tool to enable it for you.........what cummins90 is talking about is standard when it gets really cold it comes on automatically and puts the rpms at 1000 even..........manual high idle that the dealer has to enable for you will go to 1100 rpms and then you can up it to 1500 using the accel/resume button and then you can bring it back down using the decel button (cruise control buttons)........hope that explains it clear enough......Oh yeah to set it you just hit cruise on the push set.

:thumbsup yep, just like 6.7ctd said. and i would be very weary of a dealer that doesn't even know about this function!!

 

The high idle enable is hard to find on the starscan. I believe its in the export option under PTO

 

It appears that you have no clue what Starscan can do or where to find it. Alot of vehicle functions are not enabled at the factory, they must be enabled by tech's that know what they are doing. If it's enabled it is as simple as this. Start the engine, close the door, foot off all pedals, parking brake NOT set. Turn cruise on, hit set, then accel to raise engine speed. It will go back to idle when you press the brake, turn cruise off, or are dumb enough to put it in gear while in high idle.:T:

 

Don't go in and ask for "High Idle" ask them to turn on the PTO Idle up. This will tell them to look under the PTO Option in the starscan just like Ram3500Dually said.

 

My dealer was cool. When they did the recall few months back, they turned it on for me and told me how to use it without me asking.

Now I live in Floida!!! When do we see 30 degree weather?!?!?!

Either way, gosh I luve that jet plane sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah my dealer Gunn dodge didnt know about it either. They are supposed to be 5 star. yeah right.

 

My dealer wanted $100+ to enable that feature. (which they didn't know anything about) For now I use a calibrated stick, doesn't give that cool EB jet engine sound but gets the engine speed up.

 

If you know anyone with a Smarty Programer, when you flash your computer with one it will enable you to use the high idle feature with the cruise control

 

as far as i know, the smarty isn't out for the 6.7.

 

yeah my closest dealer quoted me 1.5 hours ($135) to do it. lol. takes them at most 10minutes to do. when i was back up near my selling dealership, about 1 hour away, they did it for free. i would expect to pay $30 bucks or so at a dealer i didn't purchase from. but most just want to stick it to you. dodge needs to have these trucks enabled from the factory. it's a great feature that can prevent several costly problems.

 

What costly problems??rof:rof

 

The SuperChips tuner will allow you to engage the high idle

 

are you running the superchip? if so, how do you like it? power, mpg and so forth.

 

I'm not sure what the G30 recall is...If that's the O2 sensor replacement an d reflash, then the Superchips 3808 will work. I had the recall done and I am running the tuner right now.
Tuner works great, I couldn't be happier. Milage did not improve much though but BIG improvement in power.
BTW, I've not done any of the other flashes...If it aint broke, I'm not going to fix it.

 

I didn't think Superchips worked after the G30 recall.....

 

Pardon me? I know EXACTLY what the starscan can do. You have to enable the high idle with the starscan in the first place. If the tech has never found it before in the starscan it is hard to find. Its in the export section under PTO idle up.
Reading is a wonderful thing if you can do it right

 

Just what comic books do you read?

 

i took my truck into the dealer on tuesday because my CEL would not go out. They restored the ECM and put the latest flash update on, it was the AX flash. There was an update out from what my dealer told me, the g30 was done in december when it was released.

 

Did you actually READ what I said?
Oh, and for the record. I just retired after 30 years at Chrysler and have had more CTD's then you have probably driven

 

I respect the fact that you worked so many years. Was that at a plant or out in the COLD FIXING THEM. Sorry I don't know how it feels fixing trucks the great white north. In FL we stay home at 35 f

 

Floater careful you are playing with fire!! my son

Who is bringing the beer?:lol3:

High Idle

I have a 07 6.7 standard, is it true that I can not use the high idle option because it is a standard. I had it activated at a dealer and when it didn't work, they called me back and said that I would need to add an idle switch. Does this sound right?

no, your dealer i suppose is partially correct. you don't have to buy anything extra for the manual tranny. you can get a clutch switch, but it is really unneccesary. look through my other posts and you'll find where i have written about how to do it on the manual. i've done it, so i do know. if you can't find the threads, let me know.

 

will this work on an 04.5 auto?

 

Mastercrafter.....the dealer tried to activate mine last weekend and it didn't take. I would appreciate help in figuring it out. Live in AK and a fast idle would be great.

 

what has been done so far. have you done anything, or only the dealer activate?

 

Just had mine activated at the dealer today. took about 2 minutes. works great!

 

Mastercaster is totally correct on this. I did mine myself after the dealer enabled it and it took me 10-15 minutes and it works fine. I did not get the clutch switch, just grounded the wire under the dash and it works great.

Please tell me more on how to engage the high idle on my manual tranny setup. Or PM me.

 

jr., i sent you a pm.
