I got 250k km on original filter mounted pump. It did not fail and was only changed as PM.
Replacement pump failed at 80 K km (50K miles). Replaced with original kept spare. Drove 2000 miles home and removed original (again kept as spare) and installed new one (at the time bought 2 from. Geno’s...
For what its worth , based on a fleet(12-15) of 3rd gens, all purchased used but in the best condition we could find....
In my experience using running hours as the guage, not miles, and barring bad fuel/water related issues,(stock filtration) IF you surpass 6000 running hrs , you are running...
I am approaching mileage to consider new injectors. Sig truck , stock 04 305hp with smjr.
This truck must pass a semi annual commercial emission snap opacity test. For this test I remove the smjr programming as it creates issues with rpm ramp up.

Over time pass side failed to deploy fully on occasion. (Open close door twice and all good).
Investigated further one day by switching motors side to side. The occasional 1/2 deployment moved with motor. It is however much...
Best Top and AMP are very similar. Amp step original with less warranty. Bestop a copy from amp step partner trouble (afaik).
I have Bestop going on 8yrs or so. Have to replace a motor ( it is erratic and sometimes requires a second run at it.
Customer service with technical was great and part...
It would appear you have been travelling I81 in Pennsylvania. A poor excuse for a road. More like a mine field .
Sorry just venting. I know multiple cases 1st hand of broken and lost wheels , steel and aluminium Wilkes Barre to Binghamton this yr on return from Florida.
I whole heartedly also recommend Krown.
An annual application will keep rust away OR prevent it from getting worse.
Spring time application is best because spring/ summer heat really makes the accumulated salt work that is in hidden areas.
I will not buy a used vehicle in my area...
