Your thoughts on Ecm reports

I've been long time guest and today I finally decided to become a member. This is a great website! I'm a potential buyer of a 2015 peterbilt 389 day cab.
I've pulled ecm reports on 2 tractors they have.. Compare contrast. They both have high hrs and around the same miles. Please comment and let me know what you guys think of both tractors

Both have high idle/pto time. The second one has the lower maximum dpf differential pressure as well as the highest mpg. I don't see the engine abuse report that would show overheats, low oil pressure alarms, etc. the cams need to be inspected as well. That ecm report is pointless IMO.

Those reports are definitely important. I'll email the seller to send me the rest of the ecm report.
