New work truck

[Althecraneguy]

Hello everyone. I just purchased a gently used 2017 big horn with 17,000 miles on it. I plan to use the truck primarily as a work truck. Does anyone have experience with excessive idling hours on the engine? I'm hoping it will hold up.

That's number one on my to do list. Was just looking through the delete threads. Is there a consensus on the best kit and tune?

It does need highway driving to be able to complete the regen process. Internally, I'm not sure the other implications of tons of idling. I know in other diesels I've never had problems, but this is a different animal for sure.
