I talked with bob the other day and asked him if anyone had ever requested an idel up uption. He told me no so I said I'd ask around and see what people thought. Basically what it would do if even possible is after about 5 min of ideling the rpms would automatically go up to about 1250-1300. I think this would be nice for those times you run into the store and only plan on being in there for 5 min and then you end up running into someone you know and 5 min turns into 15. So what do you guys think.

I'd be very interested. I leave my truck idling alot for work so it would come in real handy.

This would be similar to the cold weather idle up function in the Smarty. Might not be a bad thing to have, for those times you idle longer than expected.

Red3quarter

Sounds like a good idea. Doesn't the cold weather high idle kick in if the temp is below a certian degree? If so this would be great for warming up the truck in weather where its too warm for the cold weather high idle but still cold enough that you want the truck warm when its sitting.

I want one for sure. I actually thought I was going to have it with the Smarty. I would use it almost daily.

i would totally love that option,just what was said about the being in a store for 5 min that turns into 15,it happens all the time,i would load that into my smarty rite now.its got my vote

Also I forgot to mention I'm not a member of TDR so if somenone who is could post this over there I'd appreciate it. Just trying to get as much of a response as possible.

*** CAUTION ***
Do not idle the engine for excessively long periods of time. Long periods of idling (more than 10 minutes) can damage an engine because combustion chamber temperatures drop so low the fuel may not burn completely. This will cause carbon to form in the injector spray holes and on the piston rings and can result in stuck valves.

That's why they want to kick in a high idle function...idling @ 1000-1250+ brins combustion temps up high enough to keep deposits burning and the engine cleaner!

I just want a smarty .

Just drive out to Va and you can borrow mine for a couple minutes

just keeping this thread alive and giving it my second vote,this feature would make the smarty dominate the tuner world{i know it already does}

I imagine it would help the engine cool down some too, when it's this hot I have to let it idle for a while after towing and if I run it up to about 1100 rpm's the engine temp seems to drop faster. I tried to mess with the cruise control while idling the other day, to see if it would hold the rpms up, but it won't. Be another excuse for me to get a smarty.
