how do you check hours?

 

x2

guessing my truck is too old.

 

Make sure the OD reading is displaying on the display, not the trip miles. Turn the key on without starting and then push and hold the trip button down until the hrs nnnn displays on the readout. It takes 5-10 seconds, you will see the trip number until the hrs display.

 

Well, mine had 6400 on it when I pulled it for rebuild. 252k miles then.

 

3033hrs with 111,000 miles thats an average of 36 mph

 

1800 with 78000 miles

 

1852 @ 75k

 

wow that wasnt close... lol

 

2400 with 70K it gets a little cold up here.

 

7024 @ 243,458 miles, 34.66 miles per hour run

 

5031 hrs @ 240533km ( 149130miles), 47.81km/hr or 29.64mph. idle a lot while loading the hay in winter.

 

2058 at 71000..... so around avg 35 mph....

 

4412hrs, 119000 miles, avg 27 mph

 

626 hrs @ 16,800 miles never new you could check thats what i like about this forum learn new things every day

 

does this work on 2nd gens?:confused013:
i know that mine has been idled a lot...

 

114,030 miles / 2901 hours = 39 mph avg

 

4615hr / 194235km

 

4754 hrs at 143,598 mi here (30.21mph)

 

Didn't know you could check this either. That's pretty cool. I've got 2044 Hrs. w/ 60058 Mi. About 30 MPH Avg.

 

my average is about 42 i dont idle mine hardly ever.....

 

This is why I always change oil by the HOUR and not by by the mile.... HUGE difference. 250 Hours per drain. These motors should last at least 10,000 hours, IMHO. I don't see why a poperly maintained motor could not reach 25,000 hours without failure.

 

aww hell my boss has a 4450 with 15k on an aftermarket tach... wonder how many the stocker reads???

 

There is a difference. I'm betting the 'aftermarket' tach reads "power on" as time. Our trucks do not start 'engine time' until the engine is running. Go give it a try. Turn your key switch on and check the hours, turn off key switch. Now, turn the key back on(do not start truck) and walk away for an hour. Tell me what the hours are when you get back. They should be the same as before.

If I can get well over 10k hours out of a GM 350 gas motor then these Diesels should double that, at least.
