Is it an hour meter that is meant to be able reset for some specific purpose, like work, or maintenance, or is it supposed to be a total counter, like the odometer? 25K miles and 256 hours = 97.7 mph average, which is not possible.

The hour meter on my Silverado cannot be reset. Yes it is a total counter like the odometer.

The gauge cluster may have been replaced. Some of the GM gauge clusters have been known to have problems.

I'm not talking about the 2010 camaro. Please read the post or know what your talking about first. The gauge cluster can be changed on alot of cars to show different odometer readings 93-02 camaro, trans am for instance Again no one is talking about the 5th gen camaro there is a reason why I told him to ask his dealer about the 2008.

In my Silverado, I replaced the gauge cluster with a new Cadillac gauge cluster I bought off ebay for $150. Did this for the looks. My Silverado went from 85K miles to zero miles.

I believe the Suburban uses the same setup.

I put a mileage sticker on the driver's door to keep it legal.

Yes the Odometer can be changed to whatever number you want. Easiest way to tell is to take the cluster out and take a peek at the wires going into it - look for a green (I think) wire, and see if it has a cut in it.

Obviously, inspection records will show mileage, but if it was altered prior to the inspection you would never know.
