Fast idle control

Hi folks I am curious about a controller you can install to idle the engine up. I know there is a calibration from dodge that should idle up the engine. However I have found this to be hit and miss whether it work like it is supposed to or not. I am looking for a controller that will allow me to idle the engine up either with a switch or some type of controller. I found a kit a while back at www.dieselservices.com but I cant get the website to come up now. I want to idle the engine up in the winter time to maintain engine temp. I am putting a pto on the truck run a crane and air compressor and need to speed it up than as well. If there is perhaps a dodge dealer tech or somebody that installs service bodies or pto's on these trucks that could tell me how control the idle. I have a pto on the truck and need to be able to control the idle speed. It is an 01 3500 with a 24 valve and a 6spd. If you need more info or questions feel free to ask. Thanks for the help guys.
