Some folks like 1000 rpm. You do not have dpf, so as long as your oil pressure is up. At like 600 my egr 12.7 was about 20 oil pressure, bump rpm to 900 it was around 40 psi. Low idle is not good for your cam, and mains.
Here is the secret advice.

If there's one thing I've got going it's oil pressure. Sometimes I've worried too much. Gauge sits around 32-35psi when @ 600rpm & 175°-180° operating temp, & @ 900rpm right about 48-52psi.
Truck burns about 1gal of oil every 15k.
Light loads, mostly 40k gross & under. Last IFTA was 9.01. Getting ready to do the second quarter this week.. -

Not sure about the rebuild.? Folks I got it from said it was rebuilt 100k ish ago. No papers to support that. As we all know, could be an out right lie. Currently shows 978,773 on the clock.. -
