Had the ride in at the local dealer today, for a rattle in the drivers door (loose nut or something). The service guy ask me "why do you let the truck idle so much? What? Ya the hours on it are real high." First, <edit> does the hour meter have to do with the door rattle?



Here my question? Is 838 hrs on the truck (2004.5) with 24004 miles sound high?

I ask him just what is NORMAL Got the deer in the headlight look

What kind of hours do others have?

Thanx

 

I think that means you average 28 mph.

 

Yup, an average of 28 mph... which isn't bad, but I guess it depends on just how and where you drive it. If it's a lot of highway miles, then I'd say there's some lengthy idle, but not a lot. If it's city, then that'd be average because of speedlimits, lights and traffic.

 

My friend has 650 on 17000miles

I have 550 on 24000 miles......

I drive....he sits at red lights

 

469 for 10500 miles, but that Long Island for ya. Traffic really sucks here.

 

Still learning here, but can I check my hours myself? If so, what is the process to check them? I do have the overhead info readout if this matters. Thanks

 

With the vehicle off, turn the ignition switch to the on position. Hold the trip button in for about 6 seconds or so and the hours will show.

 

The 03 I traded had 26,300 miles on it and 960+ hours on it. It was in the shop a lot and no one ever blinked an eye.

 

1011 hours, 48669 miles equals 48.14 mph average. You fellas gotta put the hammer down!

 

Mother of crap! I have 3,556 hours at 50,226 miles. An average 14.1 mph? Is my math right? I idle a lot, but I travel a heck of a lot, the truck will be a year old in April. I have only been letting it idle since it's been cold out. When I visit cell sites I will usually let it idle while i'm there to keep it warm, usually 30 mins to an hour at each. Hopefully my math is wrong, been many years since i've been in school.

 

135 hours with 4442 miles..=32.9mph Not bad for only having the truck since Mid January!

 

Thanks Checkmate, I got mine...... 4681 miles/176 hours=26.59 avg mph.

 

3,000 hours and 134,000 miles
45 mph
You get better numbers if you shut the truck off at all the red lights.

 

Some of the hours is for tubo cool down

 

Hey, I actually do that! At the lights I know are long, I just go on and cut it off.
