4583 hours
189,055 miles

41 miles per hour avg.

Mine is 18789 miles and 528 hours, 35.59 miles per hour. The truck came from an older gentleman in Golden Colorado so I'm not surprised. I've done 38.21 miles per hour since I purchased it. I let it warm up and cool down for a couple of minutes on every drive.

I also got some codes with mine:
S (or 5) 121
, 282
C 447

Anybody know what these mean?

27890 miles @ 794 hrs avg 35 mph

60,097 miles/1324 hrs = 45.4 mph average on mine

113333 miles, 2949 hours, 38.4mph

68,837 miles and 1810 hrs = 38 mph average.

101897 and 3389 hours. 30.06mph.. Not too bad for what I do..

If checking the codes are similar, how do you bring them up by the way..

Thanks!

35 is a very high average for most people.... Thats not going to get you into any trouble...

I am at 21699 and 683h 31.77. I have brought it up about 1mph since I bought the truck with 10K on it... I keep a record of hours at every fill up, my lowest has been in the 20's, and the highest about 65ish...

anybody having trouble getting the hrs off the 04.5?? I did the same thing on a buddys truck and it wouldn't work. I had no trouble getting it of my 06. What gives??

96915 miles /// 2455 hours === 39.476578 average miles per hour

and just for fun...My truck went into service on 7-31-04 with almost no miles on it. (I think 6) And that was 1476 days ago.....I think.

96915 Miles /// 1476 Days ago === 65.660569 average miles per day

or 23966.107 average miles per year

or 1997.1755 average miles per month

Which also means I spend about $20 a day in fuel or $7333.56 annually in fuel at today's prices.[verymad]

..

This is BRUTAL, but I had to figure it out on my truck.
79917 miles / 1840 hours = 43.43 miles per hour (I guess not much idle time!)
79917 Miles / 515 Days = 155 avg miles per day
or 4701 miles per month
or 56,412 miles per year.
Roughly $56 per day in fuel going by this morning's fill up... geez... depressing.

It's been the most trouble free truck I've ever had. It has only left us stranded once and it was a computer issue. We fixed it by disconnecting / reconnecting the batteries.

BTW, this is my first post, an official NEWB. I'm glad I found this forum!!

Yes it took me a while to get it, it kept going to the trip and clearing it. But holding it down it will eventully show the hours.

207,750 miles 6287 hours = 33.04 mph

22040 at 707 hours + 31.17 MPH.... not to bad i guess..
