Engine Hour Meter
« on: August 16, 2023, 12:36:13 PM »
Hi everyone.

I found this engine hour timer in the access compartment ahead of the driver's side front tire (under the front junction box). I remember seeing it there a while back and was going to look into it, but kind of forgot. I don't know if it works (I'll find out next time I fire up the bus, if I remember to check it). The meter is a Hobbs quartz engine hour meter and currently reads at 5568.6. For a 2002 bus, is that a lot or a little??? Thanks!

Dad always said to multiply engine hours times 40 to get equivalent road miles.
