    one large Gatorade bottle wedged beneath the brake pedal to apply slight pressure to throttle to keep rpms up @ 200 + normal idle supposedly works as well. NOT that i've ever tried it. some say release trailer brakes, others say set trailer brakes release parking brake. now those I have not and don't really want to try.

    or you could try something like this...

    Tried it.. Applying pressure to the throttle doesn't work the warning light still comes on! I have read and asked around and have been told as long as the truck is in neutral so the gears can run freely and the clutch is fully pushed in it will not burn it!

    It will wear out the clutch release bearing if you sit with clutch pedal pushed in for hours and hours
