They must be running out of the 1st gen versions and now are offering the replacements for them.

Just think, in about 5 or 6 years they will likely be scrapping the GM replacements.

Don't be impressed by the miles. It's more of an industrial application when it come to wearing out.
Here's the formula: Tug miles divided by 6 [MPH average speed] comes out in this case to 3445.5. Then multiply the hours by 45 and you get an equivalency of 155,047.5 miles.

They generally sell in the low to mid $2000 range. Then somebody buys one and lists it or the engine from it as low miles.
