Yes, I agree, Hannibal. My investigation through other diesel truck forums confirms that a manual shift Dodge truck CAN have the high idle feature enabled. The safety factor applies in that it's possible to disengage the clutch, put the tranny in gear and drive away with the high idle still engaged. The dealer is supposed to add a switch to the clutch pedal that will automatically disengage the high idle when the pedal is depressed. All this costs about $300-400...a little too much for a few dollars in parts and a short installation time. Besides, if you push on the brake pedal BEFORE the clutch pedal (which most of us do, I assume), then that action will automatically disengage the cruise control and, therefor, the high idle feature. So, there's really no big safety factor here. But of course the manufacturer must cover all bases to be legally safe.
So, my next step is to locate that green wire (this wire would normally go to the safety switch) somewhere in the large wiring harness near the "mystery plug" and bring that wire to ground.
Here's a link to another site that goes over how to enable the high idle function for your truck. It gives part #'s for the clutch switch that can be purchased from Cummins. You are basically grounding pin #22 of the ECM with the clutch switch and along with the dealer enabling the high idle function you're good to go.

Unfortunately unless you are a TDR member, you can only see the initial post from the thread.

Did you see my previous post a page or 2 back? the plug is for power adjustable pedals! also check someone elses pic of the same plug with the same colors plugged in to the adjustable pedals.
Oops, never mind. I see your talking about the high idle now.
