I don't know about steel gears "going out", there are roller cammed Crown Vics out there with 330k miles on them with the stock disty...sure gear failure has been known to happen, but it's not all that common. As far as I'm aware, all bronze gears are designed to wear out with use and everything I've ever heard suggests that they wear out in a hurry too, might last 15k miles tops. I'm going steel myself since there's no good reason I can really find to do otherwise.
