Today I went and started my truck for the first time in about a month. I let it idol for a bit and it kept goin into its own high idle setting. Usually she idles at 650, when it went into its higher idle it would stay at 900 until I hit the break pedal. It eventuallu stopped after running it for 30 mins, anyone else have this happen ? Is it normal ? Its not that cold yet. I did notice that the temp guage was low when it would do this. As soon as it went to its normal temp thats when it stoppd

completely normal, mine did it just the other day on its own as well, first good cold snap we've had

If your truck idles at 650º you seriously need to throw that gauge in the trash and get one that works.

Rough at 94k when I got it to 150k still think I'll need new injectors

It's a Ford Diesel, it's going to have some kind of rattle. :ford:
The bigger question is why haven't you been driving you truck for over a month?

That was going to be my question. Answer to OP's question: Your truck is mad at not being started for over a month. Drive it. The worst thing you can do to any vehicle is let it sit and be ignored. Machines HATE not being used.

Mine is not a machine though.
