<DIV>My 2004 Chevy has one. I know they had it before then, but don’t know
how many years. There is a reset stem sticking out the front of the
instrument cluster. If you just press and release, the miles display
cycles through odo reading, 2 trip meters, annual total, and hours. Press
and hold resets the resetable ones. If you have the fancy steering wheel
with all the buttons, it gives you access to a bunch of additional
functionality.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>My 2016 F-250 has a "System Check" function (working from memory, I
think that's what it is called) and it lets you scroll thru several
details. It has oil life status, two separate hour meters, one being total
engine running hours and the other idling hours, plus some info about the
trailer brake controller and several other things. I don't know when they
started including this however.

<P class=MsoNormal>Ok, this is going to sound like a silly question/statement.
I’d never heard of a hour meter in a truck. Is this in a standard pickup? If
so, when roughly did that start and how do you access it? Would my 2002 F250
have such a thing?<U></U><U></U></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Jim, I keep forgetting to check the hourmeter in my truck,
but my car has a direct readout of average MPH. I record it and reset
with every tank of fuel along with MPG data. The overall average of just
under 3 years and just over 40K miles is 35.5 MPH. Turns out I'm
remarkably average. I wear size Medium suits off the rack too.

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black">Several years
ago, my brother and I were comparing odometer readings on our trucks.
My truck was older and had a lot more miles. Then we checked
hours. His had a bunch more. His truck use was probably pretty
typical, including a fair amount of local driving. As I recall, he
averaged close to the expected 35. I rarely use mine to just drive
around on short errands. Most of the mileage is on longer trips.
Earlier today, it turned over 100,000 miles and is just over 2,000
hours. The average is 49 mph. Since my highway speed is usually
70 or more, it seems it would be tough to get a long term average much
higher.<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P></DIV>

record, in automotive engineering, the conversion between engine hours and
road miles is usually taken to be 35, not 60. I've also seen 33
used. It's a broad approximation of course Vehicles used
extensively on the highway will be somewhat higher, and vehicles used
extensively in heavy traffic/city conditions will be somewhat lower.
It would be exceptionally rare to find any roadgoing vehicle averaging
60mph. <U></U><U></U></SPAN></P>
