Mine was replace at 77,997 miles. Probably started leaking a couple of thousand miles earlier. Right on the money.

I think the fact that our engines run hotter than most V8's is a contributing factor to why these gaskets harden up over time. I swapped my thermostat with a lower temperature one in the hopes of preventing this. Not counting on it though.
