Engine hours through DIC
Anyone know if there is a way to get engine hours through the DIC? Thanks
I only heard about after talking with my mechanic when we were trying to troubleshoot the speedometer. I told him there must be something that keeps up with the mileage because my oil life % changes even though the odomoter just quit working. He said the only life % displayed in the speedometer is based on hours driven, not mileage. He also went on to say that he could tell how many hours were on the car, so I thought there might be a way through the DIC

HOBBS manufactures many of the hour meters for commercial vehicles. They're inexpensive and could be mounted somewhere under the hood...

Never heard of that being available on the C5 - perhaps someone like Evil-Twin would know.
