id go with a probable no on 500,000. im at 120,000 with no problems. run good fuel, good filters, and dont add pressure or cap the rail and they will live a long life.

I will be conservative in my personal truck and replace them at 100k or there abouts.I do not want to take the risk of any failures on a trip.Depending on the failure mode,it can be very expensive

I am at 200k with 5 of the stock injectors, one was replaced but later found out it didn't need to be. Really, the stock fuel filtration system is not enough for these trucks. A remote base or two with some added filters will go a long way in making sure they stay functioning for a long time.

I had one go out on my brand new 06 at 45k miles... not under warranty due to mods, 300 bucks and a new injector it was fixed

I just had one go out my 04 with 124k miles and 300 bucks and a new injector later it runs just fine, truck is 100% STOCK....

As the others have said, its a guessing game, some go for ever some don't.
