I like the fold down seat. What kind of doing did it exactly take to do that. I think I might like to do the same as I may be sleeping in my pickup while I'm working in the near future.
The high idle solenoid is located on top of and at the front of the injection pump. I has a one wire 12v power control from the engine harness. If you want to modify it for manual high idle control all you need to do is replace the engine harness control wire with a fused 12v control wire that you control with a toggle switch in the cab. It's a quite simple modification. My brother welds in the oil field in North Dakota and sleeps in his pickup often and has to leave it idling a lot in the winter, but he now has one of those little Honda 2000w generators that are becoming very common. You see them everywhere now. He's setting his pickup up so that he can run his generator outside on the bed and run a little heater in the cab, the block heater, and the oil pan heater on the engine. This way he can save diesel, save engine hours, and cut down on the engine noise when he's trying to sleep. I don't know if you carry power generation with you though. If you do have a generator I think that's a good alternative to idling. If you're going to idle at night I would definitely do the high idle mod.

It'll also keep sticky fingers from sticking to your fuel supplies at rest stops and such.
