OK you know on new diesel you can get them to go up to about 1200 rpm and stay that why by a flick of a switch or by pushing down on the parking brake. I was wondering if any one new how do do that on the 4bt casue i know that they are not electronicly control?
High Idle?

You could get yourself a high idle/fast idle solenoid, like those used on GM cars in the 70's for when the A/C was turned on. Mounting ideas would have to be created by yourself, but not too big of a deal. Good idea to think of, it would be nice to have in the winter time.

4BT High Idle
81 J10; 4BT; SM-465; NP208; 3.31 Diffs.
I installed a locking 'T' handle manual cable to my VE pump throttle hookup. I just pull it out and turn it 90 degrees to lock it to set the idle speed. So I can set my engine RPM at any point.

The older Dodge pickups had this option available. I have never actually seen a OEM one though. Anyone else ever see one? A factory option hand throttle 81-93' ish ?

I have one of those throttle controls on an 90 Dodge Cummins. If it wasn't so much trouble to untarp it I shoot a picture of it and post it. My 89 doesn't have one.
I looked into buying the parts for it a few years ago and it is NS1 now...(obsoleted)
I was looking at the throttle linkage set-up on the early 6BT I have, I think you could modify the cruise control cable to make it into a pull handle style throttle.

I do the same as J10Diesel. T Handle locking throttle on all my engines. Works every time and is less that $15 at NAPA.

That cruise control cable is NS1 now too...
But there are numerous places to install a locking push/pull cable on the Dodge Cummins throttle bracketry.
Not at all like the 4BT linkage bracketry I have seen, very primative looking, but it get's the job done.
High Idler control
Kussmaul electronics has some that will even step up the idle when voltage drops. They are used on fire apparatus and rescue vehicles

look into hand throttle setups the manual transmission jeepers tend to use. There are some pretty clean ways of setting it up. Also, if you have late model chrysler cruise control, something like this would work: http://www.mallcrawlin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2797
