mine is 2000 at 60 with 4.10's so i would assume around 1800-1900 for you. And no its not, i mean if it was running at like 3500 or something then yea i'd say something but these motors arent built to idle..they're built to be driven..and driven fairly hard. the only time i'd worry is if its 100+ degree's outside buteven then you should still be getting enough air to cool the engine

4k+ is a high cruising rpms. 2k and under is a fine rpm to cruise at. No worries.
