What RPM should a truck run at?
Car, truck, and motorcycle engines For a passenger car engine, idle speed is customarily between 600 and 1000 rpm. For medium and heavy duty trucks, it is approximately 600 rpm. For many single-cylinder motorcycle engines, idle speed is set between 1200 and 1500 rpm.
Is 900 RPM too high?
High RPM – Idle speed is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). For most 2 liter and below sized engines the vehicles, the standard idle speed should be around 750 RPM (when the engine is warm). If your car’s RPM is above 900 with a warm engine while idling, it is likely using too much fuel.
Why is my truck running high RPMs?
Faulty idle control valve If your car has high RPM while idling, it can be attributed to a problem with the idle control valve. This valve helps the car to maintain a specific RPM while idling. This idle control valve also has a fuse which if blown, will stop the valve from working altogether.
Is 900 rpm good at idle?
Unless you are experiencing strong vibrations or it feels like the engine is panting at idle, then your engine idling speed is ok. In general the rpm is around 700-900 if the AC is not on. Normally there will be some indication on the underside of the hood or in the owners manual.

What’s the RPM of a 2010 Chevy Silverado?
As for the 2010 Silverado in this post, that tranny actually failed. IT was slipping 200-1000 rpm at the end, getting to 200-250 temp in normal driving. One rebuild and 2 leaks later I traded her off for a 2014. Couldn’t have made a better decision.
