engine hrs compared to actual miles
My 06 f350 has 215k miles and tghe hours reads 5500hrs. I'm assuming the motor doesn't have that many ran miles on it. My old truck had136k miles wit 5500hrs. Anyone out there wit 5500hrs and please tell me your odometer readings. Thanks...enjoy your friday

I remember that one of my Frieghtliners I had when I drove trucks had a 49 MPH average, which is typical for a road tractor that doesn't idle much.
IMHO this is a GOOD thing. This means that your truck didn't idle much, and didn't spend much time in slow stop-and-go traffic. It was probably working!

Guess I'm just lost on how they calculated. Was told my truck was towed behind same truck to go do pickups to bring back. So just figured actually miles aren't ran miles since it was towed.

I just calculated mine a few days ago. I'm at 38 mph average.
Here's a question for anyone who knows - if you flat tow a Superduty, ignition off, does the odometer count those miles? I'm thinking not, since it is not a mechanical speedo.

IIRC you hold down the odometer reset button while you turn the key on, do not start the engine. The gauges flash and when you release the button you are in a diagnostic mode that displays many items, hours is one of them. Keep pressing the button to cycle through the list.

But I don't think the data includes engine hours. I don't think there is any way to display engine hours on an '04 and earlier SD.
On an '05-'10, just push the tripmeter button twice. It will toggle between trip miles and engine hours.
