where can i buy this part, how much should the dealer charge to do this, what isa safe idle rpm for all night in these cumminws? also is there a flash out there that can enable the power in the cabin util a door is opened thanks for the info
You do have the manual trans right? Email me chris7694@gmail.com I'll send you a full writeup with pics and part#. Very easy to do andonly takes a few minutes. The dealer would want $400 to install the wire. Since you're gonna DIY the wire andonly gonnaneed a flash at the dealer it shouldn't cost you anymore than $30 to $75 is what I've heard reported... Some of the cooler dealers won't charge anything...

I'd bump it up to 1100 rpms for overnight and forget about it. I only use faster than that to warm up or cool down the cab on startups...

like the guys said this is normal but if you pay close attention the truck is also switching and running in 3 cylinder mode alternating the cylinders to create heat faster. and i am sorry to say if you do not have you electrical option i do not belive you can turn it on i could be wrong but have never heard of it added or turned on
FYI, only the trucks with the V pump can go in to 3 cylinder mode aka 3 cylinder shuffle.
