2006 silverado hour meter question

[holschuh11]

I bought a 2006 chevy silverado 1500 4x4 crew cab last friday. It had been traded in by the original owner, it has 103k miles. On my way home i started messing with the dash and found that the hour meter only had around 220 hours. Is this something that can be reset or why would it be this low?

Thanks in advance!!

That works out to an average of about 468 miles per hour ...

 

The mileage can be re-set by the dealer when repaired ... so can the hour meter ... (after-market repair companies can also do it (E-Bay ...))

 

Some things not right

 

Repaired odometers are required to have a sticker placed in the door jamb (in some states) and sometimes noted on the title

 

Your dealer repair record may give you a clue - the dealer is NOT allowed to hide the trucks service records ...

 

Any dealer can run your VIN and give you the service record print out (if they like you)

 

Car Fax can help (sometimes)

They gave me an equifax auto check that didn't indicate any discrepancies. I didn't receive anything else that may give me any insight into it.

Hour meters are known to reset on the GMT 800's.

^^^ This, my last truck and current truck had same problem. Hourmeter would randomly reset engine hours.

Well that makes sense lol. Thanks for the help guys!

My '06 Sierra resets at random intervals, maybe once or twice a year. But only the hourmeter, not anything else.

Mine says about 115K and hours reads 3284.

my 2006 sierra would also reset a least once a year, had it for 9 years, 350000 kilometers and it had just over 600 hours when I traded it in

I have an 06 that I bought new. So far the hour meter hasn't reset & I hope it never does. It's at almost 4000 hrs now & 280,000km. I like keeping records of all those when I do oil changes etc.

Truck is mostly highway driven & its life average speed is just over 70 km/h.

My '07 GMT800 has reset once so far. Went from around 2,000 back to 0. I have no idea why.
