Default Whats your truck idle at?

Before I did a seafoam treatment my truck idled a little above 1,000 rpm and now it idles at about 500 rpm when warm. Is this ok? It just seems like a really low idle.

Yup, when warm, mines between 500-700rpm. When cold, it's up around 1000rpm.

Yea the correct warm idle speed for an auto should be between 550 and 650 RPM's.
