"0" Miles to Empty

I have a '99 Deisel F250 SD. Sometimes when i start it the overhead display reads "0 miles to empty" even though there is plenty of fuel in the tank. You can turn the truck off and restart it and it acts normally. Any suggestions??

I have the same problem with mine...

Someone suggested that it might be the rear speed sensor acting up, but I haven't checked it out yet. With the price of gas going up, I try not to even look at the computer!!!!

Thanks,
I have a superchip installed. Do you think it might be related?

starratt04,

I reset mine every time I fill up. But I still have the problem. To be perfectly honest, I haven't done alot of troubleshooting...I'm sure I'll fix it soon, but too many other things to do right now.
