Where can I get these "pins" or high idle kits I keep reading of for the high idle mod? I idle my truck quite a bit, and even though its not cold here in southern Louisiana I would like to prevent wet stacking and keep my A/C even cooler when waiting in the truck.

Went ahead and sent him $7 for two pins just incase I break one. How hard is this install to do? I will get my dad to help me since I am disabled, but we just did a fingerstick install and had no problem. Hopefully with my father being a certified electrician will help out with this mod ;D

Not too bad at all.

Are there any other directions for the LLY? Do I have to run any kind of a wire? I am not quite getting the directions.

Basically you put that pin on a wire, install the pin into the plug as shown. Then you run the other end of that wire into the cab and hook it to the brake switch as shown. That's it. Then you just press set twice and it will idle up. It is as simple as that.

I sent him money via paypal, but haven't heard a response from him. Are there any other ways to get these high idle pins?

He must be on vacation or something.

Talk to Eric at www.gmdieseltech.com MAKE SURE you tell him you have a LLY.

I got the pins in today, I think I still may order the gm diesel tech kit tho

Glad you got the pins today...I just sent you an email before reading this thread. I was out of town to a wedding, so that's the story.

Although I'm certainly not knocking Eric in any way, his "kit" is really nothing more than a length of ~20 ga wire crimped on one of the same pins that I sell with some instructions if I'm not mistaken. Max Power did an excellent write-up detailing the install, so if you got the pins I sent you, there's no need to order anything else. You'll need some 20 ga wire from the local parts store, a pair of electrical pliers, and a Scotchlok connector. Soldering is better, but I personally don't have a problem with Scotchloks for an interior application.

:grd: Will this work?:
Manual High Idle System Description

The diesel engine has a high idle system to improve the warm-up time of the engine in cold weather conditions. This system allows the engine control module (ECM) to increase the idle speed above the normal calibrated value.

The ECM increases the idle speed using the following adjustments:

The fuel injection timing is changed.
The fuel injection quantity is changed.
The turbocharger vane position is commanded closed. The vane position will be farther closed than any other normal operating condition.The instrument panel will indicate the high idle system is active one of two ways:

The Driver Information Center (DIC) will indicate an active high idle system on Light Duty Trucks.
An indicator lamp will flash on medium duty trucks.High Idle Speed Enable and Disable

To enable or disable the high idle system perform the following procedure:

Turn the ignition ON with the engine OFF.
Depress the accelerator pedal to the floor and hold down.
While the accelerator pedal is depressed, depress the brake pedal 3 times in less than 8 seconds.
Release the accelerator pedal.
Start the engine.When the procedure is followed the engine idle speed will slowly increased to the calibrated high idle speed. This is 1200 RPM for Light duty, and 1500 RPM for medium duty trucks.

The idle speed will return to normal if any of the following conditions occur:

There is brake, clutch, or throttle input from the driver.
The automatic transmission is shifted out of Park or Neutral.
The air temperature is more than 0 °C (32 °F).
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is more than 68 °C (154 °F) The vehicle speed exceeds 0 MPH (0 km/h). The high idle system will reactivate automatically when the following conditions occur:

The engine has been idling for more than 30 seconds.
The transmission is placed in Park or Neutral.
The vehicle speed is 0 MPH (0 km/h).
The ambient air temperature is less than 0 °C (32 °F).
The ECT is less than 68 °C (154 °F)
The brake, clutch and throttle pedals are not depressed.

that will only work if the air temperature is below 32 degrees, with the high idle mod you can manually activate the high idle feature via the cruise control resume.

Set is 1250 and Resume is 1750 IIRC.
