Right! This makes it come on without pushing the button.

Trust me. It's heaven!

Luck dog mike. Not needed in California!

[QUOTE=Kenny kustom;1079643]Straight from the CUMMINS supplement manual.

Yup. Use mine all the time to warm up the cab. Put it in high idle via the cruise control and + switch and turn on the exhaust brake. Warm and cozy in about 5 minutes.

Had to waste fuel for about an hour of highway driving to clean it out. Since then I too did the exhaust delete and added the Mini Max Tuner however in our low teen temperatures I did get the P2262 error. This morning's Temp in mid Sask. was -31 .
Not true with mine. Reference the manual.

Well then !
Not sure why yours is different.
I know, it's been confirmed on a 13,14 and 2015 truck.

That's really odd.

With the mod plug, it will turn on brake and high idle when remote started.

Missed the remote start part, that makes sense, so you never have to enter the cab until it is warm. Nice, unfortunately, I don't have the remote start. When we go up to the snow I sure wish I did, might have to add an aftermarket one but have too many other mods to the trailer and truck to spend money on right now. If I ever do, your plug will be another mod right after. Thx.
