2013 2500HD 6.0 gas

[RapidRam towinthecoast]

I HAVE A '13 SILVERADO HD WITH THE 6.0 VORTEC. RUNS LIKE A CHAMP, PULLS LIKE A CHAMP. BUT, I RUN A CLUTCH PUMP ON THE MOTOR TO POWER MY LIFT IN THE BED, AND I DESPERATELY NEED TO INCREASE MY IDLE. IT IDLES AT 600ISH NOW, AND I REALLY NEED 700 OR 800. WHAT OR HOW IS THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS??

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

maybe a tune can do it, or maybe one of those throttle pedal adjuster thingamabobs (that adjust the throttle pedal mapping, maybe you can adjust the mapping so it fakes say 5% throttle when you activate it)?

what kind of tune?  And do u know what those throttle adjusters are called?

A tune that has a higher idle.  You'd need to talk to a tuner to see if they do this.

 

Throttle adjusters.  Here's just a sample of some of them.  I don't recommend any of these devices or even the web site, this is merely to show you some examples of them:

You might also get your dealer (if you don't have this option already) install the RPO UF3 in your truck (there is a charge both for the enhancement and for installing it in your truck, it's software).  You need cruise control already installed to get this option (as the cruise control controls work it as well).

I really appreciate your help man! Can u tell where to look for a tuner? And do u mean like, SCT or Bully Dog, stuff like that?  

 

Thanks again!

I wouldn't expect a canned tune to do it, but someone who does custom tunes for a vehicle probably could.  I don't know anyone though.

Check with Black Bear tuning.  They are a sponsor of this site and have tuned a good many 5.3s and 6.0s with favorable results!  They are who I would use if I had a gasser.

Cut a stick to the appropriate length, wedge between gas pedal something under the dash or the seat and the pedal. This is how I high-idle my older wheel loaders when warming them up in the winter. Also how truckers check their brake stroke, by jamming a purpose cut stick on the pedal and against the seat.

I used to do the same thing on my LB7 Duramax. They didn't have the high idle option.

Worked great you can adjust it with the power seat too.
