The 99 up powerstrokes where intercooled and wastegated turbos. It is not uncommon to get 500k plus out of these engines if well cared for. I have a 97 powerstroke with 293K miles on it and it runs perfect.

My crystal ball says somewhere between 200-600 if treated well, and longer if you overhaul and don't go too crazy with it.
