engine hours reset to zero

I'd just like to bring up something that seems odd to me. I just had the dealer install the new master cylinder and reprogram the computer as part of the factory integrated trailer brake controller instalation. When I picked up my truck the engine hours had been reset to zero. Upon driving the truck the hours started rolling up as usual. Is this normal ? Thanks, John

It happened to my truck also when they reprogramed the instrament cluster for the new brake controller not knowing what hours it had on it when i took it in there was nothing to do about it so now i have about 23000 mi and only about 195 hrs hope they dont think i was driving it at warp speed

your truck didn't come with a brake controller? or is it a new version? I didn't know they could come without one. All the trucks at my dealer had them also had the tow package though.

When I ordered my truck I didn't realize you could get the brake controller without the tow comand package.

Yep my 06 came with tow package but not the tow command system(bummer), so I asked how much to get one put in, dealer said around the $700 mark and I said ,Thanks but NO THANKS. So I took the controller out of old one and put in new one AGAIN!
