"Hemi Tick" Avoidance Question - Buying New Truck

Help!!

Looking to buy a used 2022 Ram 1500 pickup with 5.7 Hemi etorque with 22k miles. I am aware of the “hemi tick” issue (thanks to your videos) and the concern around idling too much.

I asked the sales person to send me a video of the engine hours detail on the dash. It reads 697 total hours and a 609 / 88, drive / idle split. So roughly 13% of the engine run time has been idling.

Is this a concern or a “good buy” based on this factor alone?

 

Thanks so much!!!!!

I would avoid any vehicle with an engine prone to serious problems.
