If my math is right (which it often isn't) that's almost 35% of it's life spent idling, which seems rather excessive to me under normal use. Then again what do I know, mine has never counted a single idle hour on the clock for some reason, since new it's counted it all as driving hours. Dealer doesn't know why either.

We have a lot of extreme temperatures here- and I like my toddlers to be comfy- plus it doesn't help that they love to sleep in the truck, Clearly by the idle time"s we just crank the ac/ heat and let me sleep lol

Just slightly less idle time than you. I park in a garage so generally just start and go. Being to work by 5am I don't see much traffic, but coming home at 530 I hit a little. Also work nights half the year so no traffic then either. Check engine light is from truck not being started.

My idle counter only counted one time, when I had to drive a friends wife to where he had wrecked, she stayed in truck for about an hour and it counted, BUT next time I started truck, it reset it self, so mine reads 0 all the time

Mine still says 0 idle time and I too have kids that like to sleep in the truck. I wouldn't say I idle a lot but it seems like I should've racked up at least an hour of idle time after 15k miles...
