Dripless Stuffing box

[Joeshoes]

My dripless boxes are now 12 years old.

Anyone have any idea what their normal life is? Any signs that they are going?

Which ones do you have? I have the PSS ones and they recommend changing the bellows every 6 years -

We had the Tide Marine "Strong" variety and I believe we got 1500 hours before they started dripping at the seal/shaft junction. Tide Marine sold us an updated design for 1/2 price as long as we returned the old ones but that upgrade program may have ended last Fall.

I have a truck that is a 2002. How long will it last?
