Default how long are front u joints lasting

yesterday had a u joint go out in th front double carden joint. i have about 5000 miles on the new ds. always had some vibration at 60-65 mph but hoped i could escape without less caster. not quite sure of the actual measurement of my caster now. anyone else having premature ware? I did pull a couple of trucks out of the snow with a snatch strap over the weekend.
