Anyone installed one of these and put some miles on it?
Napa said they are new, not remanufactured, with lifetime warranty.
I'm pretty sure I got my current WP from NAPA (it's third one the truck has had - #2 didn't last that long). It's been on the truck at least a couple of years and still going strong, FWIW.
I will ask the machinists at work. I work for a large municipality that has hundreds of the 7.3's in service. The sole provider of parts for us is NAPA. I will ask about the failure rate or how long they last.

Only info is what you see on this thread now. I'll be interested to see what brady000 can find out. I'm planning on adding the coolant filter/ELC and hope this gives me long life.
