    The OP says he never idles but that can't be true so what is a good number for idle per cent. Seems to me 17% is not bad.

    Dealership told me to cut idling time ‘cause “17% is a lot”.

    Isn't it around 25% idle that FL quits honoring the emissions warranty?
    I'm pretty sure they quit honoring the emissions warranty after 25% idle.

    Ohh wait, you have a Volvo. Not sure what it is for that.

    If that is the case, why do you leave your truck with them? Am I missing something?

    I would get an ECM dump ASAP. That should tell you if and when.

    Ah, this explains it. They didn't change the engine; they kept the original and swapped the truck.
