    What would stand out if it were our truck, is 94 MPH, 2850 RPM, and 156 hard brake counts. Hard to tell on the idle and MPG without knowing the usage. I see PTO time on there, so 20% idle time may not be so bad.

    Looking at the over revs, speeds and hard brakes, I'd say it's been driven a little aggressively. Even over 4 years worth of data, 156 hard brakes is 2-3 a month. The most I've seen on our trucks was 3 in a year.

    You need to reset the parameters so you can get a recent report. Those events could have happened over three years ago. The data is not able to be analyzed the way it is unless the same driver has been on the truck since new. Also, if the same driver has been on the truck, he may have changed his habits. Reset to zero without the driver knowing, then check the reports every chance you get.

    Exactly what are you trying to find on the report?

    Thanks for your thoughts. The truck is a used 2011 I am thinking of buying. It has had one owner on a three year lease which he just finished and walked away. The shop reconditioning the truck gave me the report.

    Everything looks pretty good. When they print it tell them to hit print all. You should get 20 to 30 pages. I believe the magic rpm on a dd is 3400 rpm. After that you need to replace cams and injectors. Fuel mileage may come up keeping it under 70mph.
