Would be interesting to know. Thinking about tractors, they normally have something right next to the hour meter that says "at 1500 rpms".. but it's not time spent at 1500 rpms, it's the amount of time spent at any rpm, equated to running at 1500.. so 750 rpm for 1 hr shows as .5 hr, while 3000rpm for an hour shows as 2 hr.

I haven’t noticed the engine hours and idle hours to move in lock step when idle time ticks up by an hour.

2016 F-250 FX4 6.7L 5 inches ☝🏼35/13.50/22s🔘 💯 % STOCK From Under the hood to out the exhaust. Never has had to see a repair on anything. And runs like a Raped Ape 🦧 🦍 So who has a ratio worst Than me on idle hours to engine hours😆 I’m right around 63% of my engine hours are idle hours😖🤫
😳63% Idle Time over a total of 4600 Engine Hours at 62,000 Miles Ladies and Gents. Show me someone with close to this high of a percentage. ’ll wait ☝🏼🤣

...and I have the "High-Idle Mod" in my 2019 F-450, set to 1300 rpm and it still ticks off idle hours when that is on so... there's another thought defeated! I'm guessing you have to be moving for it to NOT be idle hours...

damnit boyyy. Your at 61% idle time and I’m right around 63%. I’m sorry but everyone in this thread knows that’s a hefty percentage of idle hours on the engine🙃 and again this truck hasn’t had a single thing ever wrong with it in 4 years.

ps-it’s the the RockEt fueleD diesel 100% of the time 100% of the trucks life that does the trick. Ever wonder why diesel tractors last so long compared to diesel pick ups 🤷🏼‍♂️ May be on to something huh
