    Hey everyone, can someone help me out and tell me how to view the total miles on my 2017 Peterbilt 579? I reset all trip info on odometer and the reading I keep getting is a little over 3,000 miles. My sales documents when I purchased the truck show the truck has over 399,000 miles on it but for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere! Help -_- please :) Thanks!!!

    May not be the case in your situation, but if you really must know odometer reading. When you plug the Trk in you can pull the odometer reading off the Ecm. The dash odometer may have went bad, especially if your up around 1/2 million miles. It’s not a super common problem, however, they do malfunction and have screen difficulties.

    If someone unplugs the speed sensor as well, it's not recorded on the odometer.

    ECM is the true reading.

    You have to scroll thru the options for what is displayed on the screen and make sure you pick the odometer and not one of the trip meters. If you haven’t gotten it by morning I can run to my truck and go step by step for what you need to do.

    Of course you have the ECM dump, it will have the miles driven on the printout.
