Red face Another question about upfitter switchs

Does anyone know the reason why we could not have the High idle hooked up on our 2008 F-350. We just purchased it new to be used as a Brush Fire Truck and the mechanic (at the dealer) said they would not hook it up because there was no load on the system. ??? Not sure what he is talking about. If the truck is in high idle the voltage regulator should take care of it. I called them yesterday because i see of this forum that people are hooking them up. He said they will not do it. we are going to Install a light bar and other light used on the Fire truck but not yet. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello Thanks for the info. Just alittle back ground on the truck. It was one off the lot we did not order for anything special it is just a standard F-350. I may have listed this in the wrong forum. The truck has a V10 gas engine so it should not be any problem. Some of the Members don't think we should hook it up ourselves because of warranty issues. I think it should be OK because we have 2 people who work as a mechanic's. When we found the truck In North Carolina we had them do a Dealer transfer to Sidney Ohio. The salesman and the Mechanic didn't even know that you could hook up a high idle. I had to download the info off the web. Sorry to list this in a diesel forum but this is the best one i found. Thanks for the help.
Tim

I moved it to the '08 gas engines forum, where it will be on topic.

My first reply made no sense for a gas engine, so I deleted it.

Hopefully, the Superduty gas engine folks will chime in. I know almost nothing about the gas engines, so I'll not comment on your questions.

I got this figured out on the gasser. You can hook this up it is very easy to do. Look under the dash on the drivers side and you will see the wires for this. Look on the thread put out on the digram and it helps a lot. You will need a resistor to make it complete but it will work. I have mine working.

How to set up the high idle mod??????
