    Does that truck have all the emission stuff still on it ?
    Cause repairing and replacing all of it is going to be expensive and a lot of downtime .

    That’s why you fast idle it.
    800 RPM has this ISX from 22ish to 35psi at idle.

    Paperwork on the engine rebuild or it didn't happen. Also order a Rig Dig report, get a dyno run, oil analysis on all the fluids and an ecm dump. Yes it cost some money but can save you from buying a turd

    Not really. My truck hasn't been down for anything related to emissions in the 3.5 years I've had it. DPF cleaning $500 (one time), one sensor a couple hundred bucks. Makes it up and then some in efficiency.
