    Default How many hours does your truck engine have? (Not more than mine).

    For those who drive newer trucks, it should show how many hours the engine has on it as well as the miles.

    drive a 2008 volvo. cant remember seeing hours on my readout.
    i use an APU when shut down so engine hours would b lower than some.
    My three favorite things about Pilot Truck Stops are; coffee, cups and lids.

    I'll have to see what's on the 2005 Columbia I'm in now. The 2002 Volvo was pretty high, especially since it had over 850,000 miles when I got out of it.

    Ummmmmm, that would be 87.6 years of running 24/7/365. Unless that's supposed to be 74847.1 and not 748471 hours, but I don't see a decimal point anywhere.

    Hmmm, I came up with 85 years excluding leap years and such. 24 hours in a day x 365 days a year = 8760 hours a year, 748471 engine hours / 8760 hours a year = 85.441 years of running non-stop. Ain't no way. Sure someone ain't been messing with that thing?

    That might be a Canadian truck.
    Some sort of metric measurement.
    You know how they try to make their speed look faster,
    and temperatures colder than us.

    Good one Roadhog.

    Yeah, I'd say that's gotta be fixed somehow.

    That's a photo of a dashboard in a newer style 4300 or 4400 International, probably equipped with a DT466E International engine, and it has an Allison automatic transmission in it as evidenced by the "RND421" indicator.

    Those trucks have only been around since the early 2000's, so it's hard to believe someone could pile that many hours on one, since there are 8760 hours in a year.

    If you can't shift it smoothly, you shouldn't be driving it.
