Checking the Milage

Is there anyway to check the milage on a GenIII motor after its been removed from the truck? Is it somehow stored on the PCM?

That was the plan anyhow, I will need new gaskets and bolts though right?

Head gaskets are reusable, head bolts are not(Someone correct me please)

Does anyone actually reuse their head gaskets? As cheap as they are I toss them every time.
