High idle

[kirtsysdiesel]

I got an 02 with a smarty n edge custom drag box it already has high idle when it's like freezin out but I was wonder if I can rig up a switch to where I can turn it on n off when I want

Here is a kit that would be what you are looking for. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/topic/7833-high-idle-kit-is-here/?hl=fast+idle

Yea... Brian hit the nail on the head I produced a high idle kit a long time ago which uses the Cummins ECM software 3 cylinder high idle. Best part is I figure out a way to control the high idle mode for either 3 cylinder or 6 cylinder high idle. Then the last design change we've added a MPG fooler to gain MPG's from the 24V Cummins.

Here is all my information on the kit.

How does the mpg foolor give u better mileage

 

[yankneck696]

It fools the IAT (Intake Air Temp) sensot to think it's warm out & changes the timing for better mileage.

Ic awesome thanks ill be Buyin this set up this winter

I hate to say it but cold air is not a MPG friend. Optimally the IAT should be between 100-140*F for MPG reasons any colder than 100*F at the IAT you'll lose roughly 1 MPG for every -10*F of manifold temperature. So the fooler changes the timing value for the engine typically will optimize the MPG numbers.

More on the MPG thing... Liquid fuel will not burn so you need enough heat to optimize the conversion rate from liquid to vapor to create better MPG's so the fooler is only part of it but actual manifold heat will optimize even more with the MPG fooler...

Trust me I live in New Meadows, ID and see winter temps as low as -25*F and it will suck the MPG number down hard core without the fooler.
