    Default 98 305 5 speed, idle rpms?

    i'm not 100% sure here but i think the idle rpms are getting higher. right before i bought this truck the guy that had it had the same problem, the idle rpms and gone up to 1500 slowly over time and they ended up changing all the gaskets in the motor.
    well right now it idles about 900 i really thought when i got it the truck would idle closer to 500 but i might be wrong

    so what do these trucks usually idle at?
