High idle switch setup

[Dumps1]

I did a quick search but didn't find anything on this. Has anyone hooked up the high idle feature on the 6.7 with the upfitter switch option? I had asked my dealership to activate this while it was there for service figuring they would hook it up to one of the upfitter switches, but when I talked to the service guy he said he hooked it up to activate only when low voltage was recognized by the computer and not by the switch. I was basically wondering how hard this is if a wanted to do it myself and if anybody had a writeup, pictures or any type of input.

good post here fellas, I'll be having the dealership wire my high idle switch to one of the upfitter switches.

Hopefully they dont charge ya much, if your good making wire connections, if memory serves its only hooking 4 wires together under that dash. Doesnt take long, i have mine set to Upfitter #4.
Note: in-case any of you had it in the older trucks, the E-brake must be set for it to function now.

that sucks about the E-brake having to be set for it to idle up. Any way to get around that? I hate using the E-brake. I may or may not always forget to release it upon moving the vehicle.

Not aware of a work around. But it does only have to be engaged 1 click just enough to have the light come on. And if you put it in gear w/o disengaging the truck will let you know right away on the dash.
In winter i just click it once and turn on my upfitter switch as i leave the vehicle, that way when i remote start the high idle kicks in.
