engine hours-calculations
 

Ok call me stupid but are total engine hours as simple as that, if running 60 minutes is an hour? I am looking at truck at truck and they said has 2885 engine hours and has 405,036 miles, something isn't adding up right. I took miles I divided by hours and that should be lifetime MPH, well that's 140.39 mph average, I emailed to ask if typo.

Divide the miles by the hours and you get average MPH, best thing is have it plugged into the computer and get a readout, it will tell you EVERTHING, even things you don't wanna know, I wouldn't buy a truck without a print out of the computer, and if the WON'T do it, run, don't walk away.

I think you mis read something in the hours, I have 1.3 million miles and 33,000 hours give or take, average around 40 mph

That's how I calculated. I am thinking when they sent me email they had typo. And Maniac I wont buy until I have readout and satisfied with it. Arrow Truck Sales who has it. Heard good things about them.

That's a long way to drive that slow.

Got correct hours now, is 9,562 hours for 405,0xx miles. That's where should be.

BTW 40-42 mph average isn't too bad actually.

I have a friend who hooks up his computer to my trk and it tells everything

I know you've solved your problem, but for future reference, or for those who might read this in the future, what you initially reported IS possible. I have had work done on two ECMs and the hours on each one read "0" when I got them back from the programmer. So if your initial reading wasn't a misread, it could have simply meant that the hours had been reset at some point.
