Idle at only 500 rpm's???
Truck is running like a top. With the Rotella synthetic and warmer temps in the 20's with my Dura's aired down to 60psi, I just got 28.3mpg on the lie-o-meter on a 120 mile trip at 62mph. My lie-o-meter is consistently 18% high, so that would work out to 23.2 mpg on winter diesel.... Wow.
Anyway, the tach shows idle at 500 rpms. Sounds okay, and a bump on the high idle puts it right at 1000 rpms.
Reading the engine plate says 750 idle. Should I put a gauge on it?
