sounds like a mash stick before they started putting cruise control on trucks ...... mash it down put the stick in and go .... was handy in wide open country because you had to yank it or kick it out ........ some of these new guys would have a little bit of trouble adjusting to the old trucks .... no power steering no ac or bad ac at best .... no tvs or video games in the trucks ... ride like tanks .... ect

DOH. It's been so long since I used it.
Cruise ON. RESUME to increase. SET to decrease. -

They also say wind-chill will effect fuel and def gelling/freezing...

Working for werner here, that's an issue. My t680 truck normally idles at under 600rpm (like 575). Randomly it got louder, and started idling at above 700rpm (725). The not normal whine is very bothersome, and I've had drivers knock on my door asking to turn off my truck because it was disturbing. I've had it fixed before and will again soon. Have a mech look at it.

ECM....
You bought a truck with an ECM. Take the Truck to Dealer, Tell the Dealer You want to update the Program, pick and choose what you want and don't want. Its password proteced. Have them remove the old password and put the factory password in so any tech with laptop can access your ECM data link. Having access to data can help you manage fuel consuption, rated power and set idle parameters.
Its not a DIY...unless you have a copy of the licensed software and a Laptop with Wndows OS. $1500.00.
ALSO All lot of warranties are written with Factory Code Authorized Only. No Code No Warranty.
Or, buy a APU.....
Thanks
