Cold Weather Idle Strategy

Hello,

Is it possible to have the cold weather idle strategy removed from the computer? I think that when the next MN winter rolls around, which is closer that most want to admit, I could save quite a few dollars in diesel if it idled at 600 RPM instead of running up to 1150 RPM every morning for 6 months. Believe me when I tell you it does not make it warm up any faster. Plus, I have the snow plow package, so the damn fan runs hard, as if it is ready to overheat. I wanted to get your opinion before I make plans to take it into the dealer / start searching the internet.

Note: I know in winter this was discussed, but I do not remember seeing my question. Thanks!
