  1. Is it normal to have a rev limiter at 2500 rpm after the install?

  2. Now my cruise control dosent work

  3. Me with a manual trans duramax having the clutch master cylinder where you want me to drill😒😒

  4. I have an 03 gmc sierra 6.6l lb7. I got this kit did everything as follows pin 71 and brake switch pin F. Connections are good. Switch has power at pin f and no power when switch is engaged. Still doesn't work

  5. I know this is a super old video. But I was wondering why some idle kits have switches and this one does not? I want to install it like this video but want to make sure it works.

  6. Would there be a way that I could connect this to a remote start module, so when I remote start my truck it will automatically kick it into high idle?

  7. Just a tip when installing, there is a second wire clipped on to the ecm cover that you will need to take off to expose the ecm

  8. Will this work on an 07 classic lbz?

  9. Shouldn't you disconnect the batteries first?

  10. I like this trick thanks. But I like to sit in my truck and idle often while my dog runs at the beach so what did you mean a higher idle is better for long periods of time? Maybe when resting and trying to keep warm letting the heat run?

  11. Does the parking break have to be set for it to work

  12. Will this mess up my cruise control when I’m hauling ass Down the highway?

  13. great vid wish new this 16 yrs ago mine has fact cruise but no high idle always wonder why any answers to why not

  14. Extremely helpful and good quality video! Thumbs up

  15. After connecting to the brake switch do you just leave the leftover wire there?

  16. My truck already has a factory wire on pin 71. What does that mean?

  17. where do i get this product ?

  18. I've watched a few videos on installing these and a few of them really recommend using a toggle switch to completely kill the power to the high idle. what is your opinion ?
