I was just wondering what is the normal ratio between the number of miles on one of our vehicles and the number of hours.



04
140k miles
4900 hours

Which comes to about 28 miles per hour.



So how many miles/hours do you have on yours?

it really only makes sense to count hours on a marine engine since there ran differently then automotive engines and i dont think theyve figured out an odometer for the water

I know hours on our engines is not like hours on a marine engine, I was just wondering the correlation that we all have. It just seems like my engine has a lot of hours on it compared to miles. I bought mine used so I am wondering if the PO(s) did a lot idling.

Can't you reset the hours? Or do they reset if you pull the battery? I can't remember.

I know I have a "Timer" feature that can be reset but I think the other hours counter is like the odometer and can't be reset

My hours and miles don't add up right.

I have 106,*** miles and 1460 hours.
That means my truck has averaged 72.56mph?????

There is no way that's right.

Doesn't seem right unless you have been driving real fast and never got stopped a stoplight :driver:

There must be a way to reset the hours.
I tried to see if I could do it and it dose not work like resetting the other functions.

I think it may get cleared if the dealer flashes the computer?
Or it may be that it can not be transferred to a new computer like the miles can.

I'm not sure, but I know I have seen more then a few of them with around 1000 hours showing and over 100,000 miles on the clock.

It will reset if your negative terminal is just loose enough to freak out your electrical system!

It will reset everything to 0, but the odometer.

Somehow this happened to me {user error}, and the "jolt" happened a couple of times. It sounds terrible, because all the electrical goes haywire. I got the cold sweats after it happened. All I could see was dollar signs after! Just glad it was a loose connection.
