hahaha.....well I went to the dealership today and they looked up stuff in the computer for 15 minutes only to tell me that there is no such feature. I tried to explain to them that it is a flash and that it can be done. Is there something else I could tell them like a number or something? They were acting like I was from another planet.

Isn't it great knowing that these "know-it-alls" are the ones working on your vehicle!

The high idle feature has to be enabled for a PTO winch installation as well. The dealerships shoud discuss this stuff with you when you purchase your truck and enable ALL the features that you want before driving off the lot. Seems stupid to have to learn about them on these and other forums and the go back to get them turned on. Service and Customer Satisfaction stuff.

All these responses about dealers refusing, saying its not possible, not knowing how to do it or wanting to charge $85 to do it is why I spent $325 on a used Bully Dog Triple Dog and did it myself. In general, the Dodge service departments are by far the worst I have ever dealt with.

I just had mine enabled yesterday after searching for quite a while for a dealer that would even try. I had already installed the ECM bypass pin to ground and when they enabled it and when it worked there jaw just dropped. I just said--told you so-- BUT-- they still could not figure out how to enable the fog lighs on with brights or the acc. on with key off features. Guess I'll start looking for that used triple dog again.

As far as I know, the only way to have the fogs and brights is through hard wiring. This has been confirmed by a few members here. The other stuff (like the accessories staying on until your door opens) can be done by the dealer.

Also I agree with other post, these dealerships need to have at least one salesperson that knows these Cummins engines and enable features inside out, instead of filling you full of BS you know is not true.

Actually you are from a different planet, "Planet Cummins".

On my truck, when the temp is at or below 30-32 deg. after the truck has been runnung for 3-5 min, it automatically idles upfrom the normal750-800 rpms to 1100 rpms and stays there for 5-8 minutes. This occurs even if it's been plugged in overnight. I haven't had anything updated in the computer as far as I know, must be a stock feature.
