They are called Cummaparts for a reason.


That reason: It's something cute to say has no bearing on reality.

Mine has 400,000 miles on, the first 300,000 spent as a service truck and a fifth wheel hauler, the last 100,000 being hotrodded with twice as much horsepower as stock. Blow by and oil consumption is getting noticeable, but it's got another 100,000 in it.
