just hoping to get a general consensus. I just got a cts3 digital tuner and when the engine is hot (187 degrees F coolant temp) at idle I’m getting icp 460psi at 9% ipr. is this normal/healthy? truck runs great. has the 6 position tuner switch and run it on tune 3 (60hp tow tune). I run 10w30 delo semi synthetic during winter (currently in the engine now) until it gets hot out. Then I run 15w40. When cold it’s 800 ish icp. is 460psi at 9% at idle too low? is my hpop or ipr on the way out? im at 350k km (217k miles)

Hey gentlefolk i have a 2001 f250 7.3 with just over 217,000 miles on it (350,000km) i was hoping to see what you guys are seeing as the average expected lifespan of the stock original hpop and IPR valve and the injectors. i bought it used but it was in excellent condition and has never seen a canadian winter until i bought it in august. it appears to have been used by the previous owner to of pulled a gooseneck trailer as it has the setup for it and what looks like it used to have air suspension helper bags in the rear that were removed before i bought it. i can assume it has hauled heavy over its life. the transmission (4r100) was a freshly rebuilt unit with paperwork when i bought the truck (approx 20k km give or take when i bought it. When do you guys generally see the original injectors, ipr and hpop start to give issues? i plan on taking this truck on long camping road trips towing my camping trailer and want to make sure to address any issues or potential upcoming issues before i end up on the side of the road in the boonies. so far engine wise i have replace exhaust manifolds and up pipes. engine runs great with no blow by or rough idling. drives great. has the 6 position tuner switch on it i generally drive it respectably on the 3rd position (60hp over stock) starts up like a new truck even in this past winter i was starting on the first crank with one round of glow plugs. seems like it was well maintained. the icp is starting to leak into the harness and i ordered a new one from riff raff. please lend me your brains gentlefolk so i can keep this beast running like a pro.
