Dumb Rookie Question
I know that the only dumb question is the one that is noit asked.......however, I still feel dumb asking this. I never really paid attention until now, but I remember that when my trainer would idle his truck he set the cruise so that the RPM's were at 1,000. I have also noticed that it seems a lot of drivers idle their trucks high. Why is that???

It is supposed to be hard on the truck not to idle it up a little when stopped and the truck will "slobber"

1000 is a bit high to me we have 5 2000 petes and they all have to idle at 1000 to get it to cool. I guess you got the only good one
