I just saw a thread over on the other site...and I though I would post here.

Just rolled over 105,305 miles in 2333 hours...for a lifetime average speed of 45.14 mph. I though I would have been faster...since I never drive slower than 80...but I must idle too much! LOL

 

The last time I checked, mine was 38. It really suprised me as well. My dads 03 was 26. lol, That's what happens when you get old...

 

i forget, how do you pull up the hours, put the key in and hold the reset right?

 

Id like to know how to do this as well. I didnt know you could even check the hrs on the truck. How many hrs is allot? I have 83k miles, how many hrs should I show?

 

45 MPH for the life of the vehicle!!! Talk about a LOT of highway driving.!!! I am barely into the 30's in my Lamborghini and I drive that mostly on the highways over 180 MPH ! You have no diea how fast that really is over a long period of time. THat means virtually NO city driving, probably 99.2% highway, and 0.8% city. **** MAN!!

 

Question: How do I find engine hours information on my 3rd Generation 24 valve?
Answer: When the trip odometer reset switch button is pressed and held for longer than about six seconds with the ignition switch in the On position and the engine speed message from the PCM is zero, the trip odometer information will be momentarily displayed, then the engine hours information will be displayed. The VFD must be displaying the odometer information when the trip odometer reset switch button is pressed in order to toggle to the engine hours display. The engine hours will remain displayed for about thirty seconds, until the engine speed message is greater than zero, or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.


From the Tech facts section ....

 

Turn the key to on...then hol the odometer button down till it pops up.

You must start with it on odometer...not trip or it will just reset the trip.

 

I guess I haul azz as much as anything else then too!...LOL

 

If you would continue the way your are going now at 10,000 hrs you would have over 442,000 miles.

I am at 34.71 avg. miles with 30132 miles and 868 hrs. I'd these engines last over 10-15 thousand hrs.

 

Cummin's should sponsor me if I can make this motor last 450k runing twice the rated hp!

 

2,434hrs and 83k, is that allot of hrs for that mileage,cquestad has 2333hrs with 105k??? I also have run 315's and 35's for many miles without recalibrating. Do you think my mileage is at all acurate? Or is it allot for my hrs?

 

how do you find out your average mph over the life of the truck? Like cquestad did?

 

bosshog yours is 34.1 my average i3 33.7 after 47k seems i idle alot.

 

I'm at 2128 hours for 83,443 miles for an average of 39.2mph. I had my computer recalibrated for the 305/70-17 tires as soon as I put them on.

 

you must idle allot. I leave mine running allot, so if your that much off, you have been napping in your truck at lunch with the A/C on!



So what is allot?

And how many hrs, on average do you guys think we can get outa these 3rd gens?
