Yes we have a few that come into work that have done high ks.
Lots on the other hand haven't done feck all, and have fallen over rather hard.
Dust ingress is the biggest killer by far. Lots been tried. Nothing fixed that issue yet.

Are these mine vehicles that have been abused or the like? Plenty of after market sealed air boxes for them from numerous companies in oz.Most on the 79series forum don't seem to have a issue with the air box myself included.I have found you do need to spend a little initially to stop the known faults right from the start.Pretty solid work horse otherwise and I have broken a few of the other brands.

Not just mine vehicles. Lots been typical use.
70's haven't been as bad. Most have been 200's

Or are you talking about the 200 series air box fault that was sorted a while back by changing the gasket to solve the issue?

No. Dust still gets in. That's the problem.
