Hello all!


I am curious to know what type of hours people have on thier trucks vs. the accumulated mileage. Its interesting to see what the average speed has been as well.


49,150 Km (30,718 miles)


727 Hours


Avg speed: 67.6 Km/hr and I don't do a lot of idleing or stop and go driving either.

Turfmower, that's pretty strange - your components are calculating some kind of "engine wear hours" based on rpm? Every hour meter that I've ever seen is a "clock" that counts the number of hours of switched-on 12v (or 6v or 24v) power. I couldn't find a comfirmation in the tech manuals, but I'd bet that the DMax hour meter is an actual ignition-on clock.

Both of my desiel tractors the hour meter is run off tac so the faster you run the engine the faster the clock runs. Edited by: Turfmower

Our older John Deere tractors hour meters are based on rpm but our newer ones are an actual calculation of time. I'm guessing this is the same situation in these trucks.

How do you tell how many hours the engine has?

Matador;


When the engine is off - push in and hold the trip meter/odo pin until the hours show up.

EMSi,


Thanks for the info --- guess I'll have to try it this evening after work. I probably would have already known about this if I'd read the owner's manual, huh? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Geek.gif

15,000 miles 350 hours.


Even the new John Deere tractors have the weird hour meters. Mine is new and the hours clock up much faster at working speed than idle. I think JD is the only one that ever used this set up.
