You're right around when they die. And you won't get much warning if any. It will run perfect one day and the next time you start it it will hydrolock and break the internals, costing you about $4000 for new engine. So I suggest you have the intake gasket replaced on it. It's worth it. I would have had it done on my 98 but I could not tell if I was in the right serial #'s cause the cheap numbers wiped off with the grease. But I should have spent the money and had it done. Now my truck is in the shop right now getting the engine replaced. 130,000 miles. And I replaced the oil every 5000 miles with Mobil 1 synthetic.
