158k. Mine was never chipped or anything when i got it so it was never deprived of fuel but a good lift pump prevents that. With ur airdog ur vp should be fine.

mine hadnt been chipped until i put this one on and it had the stock lp until the airdog went on to so im crossing my fingers and hoping that it hadnt been starved for fuel in the past.... hopefully it will last until the tranny gets done atleast but thats not how it normally works for me everything goes at one time usually

When I bought mine 5 years ago I wanted a 6 speed and couldn't find one for a decent price here in Indiana so I got the auto.. I've thought about swapping but was told that a built auto would cost bought the same if not cheaper. Ya I gotta build my fuel system up good I wanna pull occasionally and eventually gat a dedicated puller. Don't have the $$$$$$$$ for a puller now

I only have 3000 dollars in my tranny with labor and with 525hp it still shifts as good as it did brand new with 37,000 miles on it n it pulls cattle, hay, n a couple sleds each year.
