50,000 100,00 or more, who knows.

The new frame design has only been with us since 1996. It is way too new to have learned what it's life is.

This is no different than your car. Floor it from every light and it will need more maintenance than if you slowly cruise away from the light.

Hotter loads (within SAAMI spec) will not significantly reduce it's life. It will increase the frequency at which a part or two needs maintenance
