It gets it's power through the factory wiring harness. Since your truck doesn't have the factory diesel harness, if you want to add it to your truck, you could run a power wire from a switched source (on and off with key) to one side of the fast idle "sender. This is below your thermostat housing with two spades sticking up from the top. From the other side, you then run a power wire to both the fast idle solenoid and the timing advance (that's the one on the driver's side that isn't the FSS). This will make it work like factory. Just make sure that your original power wire has a fuse in it just in case something ever happens.
