The ICP DUTY cycle is IPR and if that's right, 25% is kind of high and may indicated an internal leak. What is your cranking like at cold and warm starting?

Cranking times are good. 2 to 3 seconds warm or cold. It usually reads around 23 but today for some reason it hit 25 at idle

Keep and eye on it. When was the last oil change? Mine runs 21-22 and nearer to 23 when the oils getting old. Changed oil yesterday, solid 21.1 again.

Everything else looks pretty good. Battery voltage is near the bottom acceptable, unless your running everything in the truck. Mine runs 13.7-14.2 even with everything on. Check it with a meter, should probably read about .5 higher that way.

Your engine isn't completely warmed up. Oil is usually a little warmer than ect.

What kind of internal leak are you talking about?

What year engine?
If later model could be stand pipes or dummy plug.
Could be injector cup orings, or hpop. Just need an air test to pinpoint if and where the leak is.

No, but you have dummy plugs and standpipe and injector o-rings that can leak... small leak. Why it's at 25% and should be about 21-22 or so. I've heard of 23-24 as normal also, just think 25 is a little high. You could have a screen in the IPR with some stuff on it as well.

Stand pipes and dummy plugs were replaced as well I mean it was the first time I seen it. Going to monitor for a few more days I guess and I also run a performance tune on it if that means anything

I run SLR+ and Atlas 40 as well. Keep an eye on it and see if it shows again. Check the screen of the IPR, you could have made a catch.

Takes an IPR socket and an extension. Google a video I'm sure there one out there.
