Mine failed at 68,000 appx. And it was a total blowout! Had to tow it!

Mine has 85,000 on it with the original housing, but it's just a matter of time. I have an upper and lower replacement in the trunk for when that time comes.

Mine lasted till 140,000. I was 700+ miles away from home when I smelled the anti-freeze. It was just seeping so I milked it home. That was a long slow drive. I lost about a 1/2 a gallon for the trip.

On my 2006 it lasted for 199,881 miles - and then let go just as I was staging the car at the drag strip.

My T-stat housing started to fail around 50K or so. It leaked slowly for a year or so, before I replaced out. Now, I have an external head gasket leak. The stinky coolant fumes continue..............
