How to keep trip instead of odo displayed?
On the FX4, it has a mini-computer read out, it seems to randomly go back to displaying the total truck miles instead of the trip miles.
How can I make show the trip miles each time I use the truck?
Also, is it just mine that barely readable, the LCD read out is very poor, like an old fashioned digital watch.

mine stays put while the truck is on, but whenever the truck is turned off it reverts back to total mileage.

Jinjimbob, I have the FX4 screw, and it will reset to the odometer when I turn the truck off and start it up. I too wish that it would stay on the trip miles too.

Think there might be a bug?

I think it's in the design. Same as overdrive coming back on after the truck is restarted.

Hi, RexaFORD, So put one in. Go to E-bay, put in a FX4 or LXT cluster. Have the mileage set by the vendor (don't buy from one that can't, unless you want to spend an extra 75 bucks plus shipping to have it set).
Put it in your self. Takes about twenty minutes, five for disconnectiong and reconnecting the battery. Then drive it to the dealership and pay 60-85 to have it programmed in.
Couldn't be easier, and with luck will cost about 185-200. Sure, it's a lot, but boy does that FX4 dash look sharp!

OT--
ChrisAdams, you wouldn't happen to be a Chris Adams that went to Penn State back in '96 or so, would you? You have no location info in your profile for me to guess. Yes, it's a rather common name, but stranger things have happened...
