Is there a mileage range these usually fail at? I've heard it can go out anytime over 100k miles???

Also, how much (on average) should I be expecting to pay for a rebuild? If it goes, I'll probably pull it myself and take it to a shop to have the work done.
I would recommend you talk with these guys. They are ZF specialist. It will cost me $ 3700 to replaced mine.
