I have had many granny 4 speeds for work trucks. I still have a 91 chevy ton truck that I've owned for several years although it doesn't see a lot of miles other than work. Good all around trucks and I have never seen that transmission fail. Loose and sloppy but not fail.
I would not want one for my daily driver as I'm spoiled and prefer the autos for ease. However, better fuel economy while working them harder is hard to dismiss. A new clutch once in awhile and go and that is only if your using it past its intention. Which is easy to do when you have a low hole to make her move way overloaded.
