Odometer

[SMasters]

I noticed yesterday that my odometer doesn't advance to the whole mile at 0/10th. I was watching it and it will roll to the next whole mile at different 10ths. For example it will read 50,000.1, 50,000.2, 50,000.3, 50,001.4, 50,001.5, 50,001.6, 50,001.7, 50,001.8, 50,001.9, 50,001.0, 50,001.1, 50,001.2, 50,001.3, 50,002.4, 50,002.5 etc. The next time I start the truck it may roll at 7/10ths. The distance per mile is accurate compared to mile markers on the highway. It just doesn't roll on the 9/10th to the next whole mile. I have different tires than what can on it from the factory but they are still the same size. Not sure what is going on.

My ‘14 has been doing this for over 100K miles. No one seems to know why.

Could it be the EVIC freezing for a few seconds and later catching up it's mile accuracy? I haven't noticed an odometer problem/discrepancy but have noticed other evic info screens taking a few minutes to catch up.

Some Japanese vehicles measure miles by a sensor in the transmission. But I think the rams measure miles on the odometer by the wheel speed sensors in the abs?

(Because of the multiple transmission offerings)

Maybe, I really don’t know. Next time you’re driving, watch when your tenths roll from 9 to 0 and see if your ones position increases at zero. Mine never does, it always increases in the middle of the spectrum.

BTW, this happened with the stock tires and still happens with bigger tires.
