does the 12 valve have the advantage in longevity?

Will the 24 valves go as long as the 12 valves? I know they are both good engines, but does the 12 valve have the advantage in longevity?

There was an 03 listed on Ebay a while back with over 636,000 and was still running strong. I also have a customer with an 01 that has over 565k on his. It is beat all to crap but purrrrrss like a kitten

so far the 3rd gens are proving themselves very well against the 12 valves. you cant be the reliability of mechanical. . .however these trucks are shoing good potential to go the distance that the 12 valves have proven to go.

Wow I knew they were good for many miles, but I did'nt expect that! I will not be afriad then. You guys are really great. Thanks for the info! Here's a pic of my crummy 1500 gaser. Wished it was a ctd.
