Anyone using a Hubodometer?

I bought the DataTrac from a commercial trailer service company who programmed it for the correct revs/mile for the Michelins (719) and the current trailer miles (12,209, est.) when I bought it ($61.15 plus tax). This model also has a "trip odometer" feature that can be easily reset. All the programming and control is done by blocking the light to a port on its face--pretty ingenious.

The dealer told me to check the mileage against the truck and bring it back if it needed adjustment. It's reporting 4.3% less than the truck and I'm going to get it adjusted tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing, BillfromWI.

The Stemco hubs I've seen so far have all been mechanical. The programmable DataTrac you have looks like a good idea. Not sure I'd use the trip odometer - perhaps resetting it every time the wheels were rotated would make sense - or more likely, every time I greased my hensley.

Not on my TV but I do have one on my frig. The Dometic has never cooled to satisfaction so I wanted to see what the duty cycle was and if it was less than 100% when it was not up to snuff. The Dometic just can't cut it.
