ive got 10,xxx out of my same generals so far . im guessing about 20 tops lol . burnouts are awesome lately . try going to a complete stop , put it in first manual . braketorque it up to bout 1,100 or so and then off the brake and floor it . i do it when i feel liek showing off and i got alll the way through first gear side to side spinning then when i shifted it up to second she died out lol . but just a thought if u really wanna do a burnout

you can squeeze 50K outta them but at the end your braking and rain driving will be suffering. I'm gonna get somewhere around 45k outta mine. I squeel the tires too much!

Just for grins, I took the truck out to an empty country road and stomped it in D from a stop, and I was actually able to spin the wheels for a good 15-20 feet, so Maybe I can get through these Generals a little quicker after all.

well try what i said . mine will spin from a roll at 10 . and for about 10 feet from a 30 drop . but go to a dead stop , put it in first so it doesn shift into second early and ruin the burnout lol . then hold brake and gas build it to about 1100 or 1300 however high you can get it then foot off brake and stomb it . enjoy your side to side slide lol if you have a locker or lsd

I have 61,000 on mine and am just now hitting the wear bars on the front. But then again I drive conservatively.
