    You must be talking about a ddec V with a VGT turbo at idle.
    The only way I know is a tune with a non VGT turbo or possibly a tuner could change the idle characteristics with the stock turbo set up.

    Get rid of the vgt turbo. Or just turn the engine off.

    I Just Go With It.

    Don your crisp white shirt with lapel s and a dark blue Captains hat make it feel realer though.

    Plus I Love the looks I get when I crawl out of the truck
