Post miles on unit

When can you expect a failure?
what have you done(repair's)
Example--killer dowel pin---have you had the cover off ?? Say seal replacement??
Everyone wants to throw there chest out with the add-on's DOLLARS I've spent to inpress some one? NOTE -i spent mine to extend the useful life of the veh--and comfort,.IF, I repeat IF,you want to know what to look out for ,and keep cost down and not jump off the end of the earth it takes "experance" OR having say 30 veh in your drive and checking one to the other,over many miles--OR
being a member of SAY - TDR./website instant referance IF every one included this info in there bi-o. But most of the members won't own there current veh 5 years from now..???or hit say 200k??
As for the example--KILLER DOWEL PIN- I have my current miles and know others with 94's & 95's and around 500k + and we all are still alive,are we just lucky???
Cummins may have bo-bo'ed OR someone else?? LET's look at the history of the failed units THEN everyone has a leg to stand on..Guestion ?should i start mine sunday eve????????????????/
