    How many miles did you get out of your old one? I thought it was going out once on my 2017 but it turned out to be an air leak. Had 600k on it when I sold that truck. I’m just curious what the life expectancy is.

    620K. First 475k was as a company truck.
    Mine, held to the floor, slowly releases. No leaks. So I assume that the master is shot.

    If these parts are the same quality as the parts they put in their Gliders in the past, I would spend the extra money and buy them elsewhere. I have owned one of their gliders since it was new in 2016 and it has been great after I got their junk Chinese parts out and OEM Detroit parts in their place.

    They are all made in China.
    same factory makes them for paccar that makes them for fitz.
    They dont have their own chinese plants.

    I can only speak from my experience that my motor does much better with OEM Detroit parts. You do what works best for you in buying from Fitz.

    I have a paccar, not a detroit. I can't agree or disagree.
