She idled a lot!

while checking off my med unit this morning, I remembered a discussion on here a while back about the relation of mileage to number of engine hours. Anyone in public safety can tell you that our vehicles(all agencies) idle a lot. So I checked the truck this morning and here is what I found:
5021=engine hours
102236=mileage

Through all of this, and the trouble she's had(turbo,turbo gasket, broken rocker arm, failed EGT sensor and a low pressure fuel pump) I'm still impressed with the performance and the capability of this truck. (VERY early '08 F450 6.4L)

Averge speed of just 20 mph. Yes she does alot of idling. I would assume high idle though.

You are correct...when the other crews remember to set it!
