I beat the hell out of mine and it has 150000 on the overhaul. The only reason it was overhauled the previous owners son had it for a while and chipped it way up and just flat out burnt it up dogging it. It has 275000 on the truck and I have an old school Hypertech programmer set on tow and don't have trouble. Mine is a F-250 with 35s on it ,and I had it loaded with a 42 ft goose neck loaded going to mud fest with a Capri camper on front with tools in it, 79 F-350 with 44s, 4 fullsize fourwheelers, 1 kids fourwheeler, and 2 generators also about 60 gallons of extra gas. Still passed cars on I-49.
I'd just stay away from any diesel that has been chipped up or alot of mods done to it by a previous owner, some do it for fuel economy, some do it to see the black smoke fly!! Unless you know the trucks history stay away from chipped / programmed trucks.
One more thing, don't plan on winning any races with it, but it will pull anything you hook up to it.
