Checking Engine Hours... how do ya?

[rashwor]

OK. I searched the forums like a good little boy. I cannot find the key on key off procedure for checking the engine hours on our trucks (2000 - 2005 models).



I have even done it on the '05 before, but I am drawing a blank.



Anyone?

How many hours are on your truck. Turn key to run (do not start) press and hold the trip button for 6 seconds then hourmeter will display. My 05 has

29019 miles divided by 666 hours= 43. 57 Avg miles per hour.

Im not 100% sure on this i think you turn the key to the run position push and hold your trip button for 5 or 10 seconds, your engine hours should come up.

Either you idle a lot or drive really slow :-laf

I just crossed the 4000hr mark a short time ago at about 181,000miles. I would discount a used truck that showed excessive idling. I know most average 30 to 35 MPH, but mine has always been in the 45 to 45 1/2 MPH range.

[CEngel]

[BFoughty]

23224. 0/698=33. 27... ... . Much better then I see on overhead or hand calc

 

[daytripper63]

[NUKEMAN]

Same here. Tried it on my '03 and nothing but "DONE". Must be doing something wrong

 

[ScottLewis]

This thread fascinated me so I checked my '06 w/ 5585 miles and found 156 hours @ 35. 8MPH. I then tried my Chrysler 300, AND IT WORKED! Even indicated "Hrs" in the window.

Turn the key to on first then hold the trip button for 8 sec

60,966 miles and 1613 hours= 37. 79 mpg. I love this feature!

 

[RonCar]

42262, 1421 = 29. 7 for me...

 

[Arkapigdiesel]

274 hrs. /12,650 miles = 46. 17 MPH



I expect my MPH average to increase a little.

 

[NUKEMAN]

Maybe this doesn't work on the earlier 3rd gens. I'm getting nothing in my '03. (yes, key is on).

 

[dcherill]

they are calculating Miles Per Hour, not Miles Per Gallon

I see a lot of MPG's flying by... ... . total miles divided by total hours is total average Miles Per Hour
