    My quality truck was governed at 65, I think it was originally going to Celadon...I had the POA to get it changed but never did. I ran so much in Cali it didn't really matter.

    I left Indy with mine governed at 62.... I called them when I got to Louisville and they told me to take it to any KW, they would pay to bump it to 75, if I wanted anything else it would be on me.

    Not 100% sure on this. I Did hear awhile ago someone had one for 4 years and it was just starting to break up. But u can just order another wrap for it which saves a lot of money compared to having to rebuy it. I Think it really comes down to how people wash them or how often u wash them.
     
    I glide 47 and JonJon78 Thank this.

    I've paid anywhere better 80 and 100, never looked online. Mine is freaking big, I'd imagine shipping would be high, maybe not, never looked.
    The problem I saw was after 3 months, the paper filters were looking pretty nasty. Supposedly you are not supposed to blow them out, voids the warranty...idk. My oil samples consistently had Silicone at 2-5ppm with paper air filters. After I changed to the fleet air filter, silicone hasn't been over 4ppm.
    I've seen better than a 1/4mpg fuel economy increase.
    The wraps can be replaced, not sure on the cost. I wash mine about every 20k miles +/- but they are pretty specific on how you handle them to make them last ...I've yet to see any deteriorating. The only thing I don't like is the oil spray. I wish the oil sprayed a little wider coming from the can, it seems to stream out, making for even coverage of the wraps kinda a messy job.
    I've had mine for almost a year.
