ok ladies and gentlemen,this is why i think the MPG/High idle thingy may be something i should install.i only drive about 5 miles to work each dayand by the time i reach my destination ,my temp gauge is almost at normal operating temperaturewould enabling the 3 cylinder idle get me up to normal temp so that the engine is toasty when i start my drive be benificial?or am i (as usual) wrong in my thinking?thank you for your input.

this 2001 5.9l 6 speed with van aaken box and 4 inch exhaust and 210,000 miles that i bought from a guy in my hot rod club cost me $8500 i replaced the apps and throttle cable right away it runs great was this a fair deal?
+100% for me it is VERY intimidating. i have nothing useful to add to any of these posts but i did want to say it is dumbfounding the amount of brainpower ,skill,and expertise that goes on at this website. and i thank you all. ok back to my lurking until i learn enough to ask an intelligent question.
please forgive my ignorance but if the reading falls under 15 psi are you supposed to shut the truck off that second and call a buddy and/or a wrecker. then tow it somewhere to replace that pump, then continue on your way?
i do check the messages so on that point we are good. p.s. you are the second person i have met that wont text.
