Are there any stats out on how many jobs the Super pumper system actually took in and operated on?

According to Harvey Eckart's Mack Fire Trucks 1911-2005 book, it took in 2200 alarms before being removed from service in 1982. I'm sure some others might have more information, though....

I remember this rig being in the rap video for the song "Check the Rhime", by the group "A Tribe Called Quest". Found the video on Youtube and watched it. At 2:13 the rig drives by the video shoot. You can't really tell that it's 317 from the Youtube video, but I remember watching this video on MTV in the early '90's and it was definitely 317.
