i have around 30K miles on mine. I've heard of others with over 40K even. Mine had new housings..not sure about new rotors or not of course. The thing with the remans is that it's like a lottery draw. Sometimes you get a good one that is good as new, and sometimes you get a bad one that goes right after the warrenty.

With in 10 months, I had put 24k (yes, 24,000 miles) miles on my rebuild and still going strong. I tach it out almost everyday......NO PROBELMS! Changing the oil every <3k miles is the key to longevity.

Does vacuum really tell condition of motor? If my idle is 725, my vac is around 16........if my idle is around 850, it's a notch below 20......I vary in idle because my PFC broke and I bouoght another and haven't tuned it yet......really rich now......Just a thought!
