How many km?

Still has under 50k because it's primarily a trailer tower. 75-80% of that mileage has been towing.

Even if it had 150k I wouldn't be worried about it's reliability. I am high on maintenance to keep my vehicles in tip top shape.

Wow man! Super garage queen! At that rate it will still be like new with only 100k (miles) when it’s over 20 years old!
Dude, I’d keep an eye on if Canada clamps down on deletes and if they do, get a delete tuner and at the very least stash it away for a rainy day. But since you’re out of warranty it would actually be money well spent to delete it now.
Good for the engines health and reliability. Plus it would be free, takeoff emissions parts fetch good money, here at least.

Yep, she's never seen winter, either. :)

I have been thinking of buying a Bullydog delete tuner. I have been thinking of deleting it, but it is nice to not have the stink when starting it in the garage and so far so good for all of the emissions equipment. I think it will happen at some point, though. The emissions equipment does fetch good $ here too.
It has a Southbend dual disc clutch in it now; the stock one was starting to slip a bit while towing hard on steep pulls. Funny thing is the stock one looked brand new when it was pulled out; just not enough clamping force I guess.

A clutch can’t take the kind of torque that can fed into the new automatics ..... Back in 93 with my 6.5 turbo diesel and manual transmission I got stuck in a snow drift with a heavy trailer on behind . I ended slipping the clutch with only 400 lbft of torque .... I didn’t realize it until the cab startled filling with smoke. I think a tuner could cause you more grief than it would alleviate.
