Roof Control

I don't know if this is the right forum but here goes. I have a 1999 Ford superduty 350 7.3. Well I left the engine running while filling up about a month ago. Well I noticed a few days ago after a fill-up that the total miles till empty read 395 instead of 460. Is there a way I can reset this. THe guy before me said he had a new one put in for 500.00. Any suggestions. Thanks.

The miles to empty is based on your gas mileage, you probably just dropped a few miles to the gallon for some reason and it’s taking that into account.

Ditto...what he said. you must have gotten worse gas milage before that last fill-up.

P.S. I wouldnt leave your truck running when you fill up with fuel, your not extending the life of your motor/starter if you do anyways.

It recalibrates all the time. Depending on how your driving.

Also, the newer fuel blend seems to have cut into mileage figures.

Why is this labeled roof control? Thought it might be about a moon roof switch . .
