85,000 miles. Had to have a tranny rebuild at 37,000 miles. That was pretty serious, but it's the only problem I've ever had until now. I think I'm going through some VP-44 issues but I need to complete some more tests first with Cummins, and replace some sensors

Have a buddy with a '98 4x4 5-speed. 392,000 + miles, and it tows every single day. Plows in the winter months too. He runs a delivery service between two remote cities, about 160 miles each way towing a 24 foot Pace enclosed cargo trailer. Only problems were 3 of the early 5-speeds that were famous for the nut backing off. Routine service and knowing how to drive what you've got speak volumes.
