Is the ECGS bearing really needed??
Lets discuss!

This thread has potential.

 

Mines been bad for years. I just turn up the radio.

 

Yes, yes it does & for good reason!! Haha

 

Lifted, yes in my opinion you will need to upgrade the bearing. Just do it at lift install and be done with it for piece of mind. If not, you may or may not be fine for awhile but it’s just a matter of time before it gets ya lol. Some however have extreme luck of not needing it but certainly don’t bank on that.
Now if your stock or staying stock, should be good for awhile.
Hope this helps

 

Same as every other lift related issue.
Depends on what your truck needs.

 

if you're doing the lift and have everything ripped apart, you may as well do it. The job is pretty easy to do if you just take your time.

 

Thanks guys I've got everything I needed here. Thanks for the replies!!

 

Yeah I'm well aware but as this really wasn't about the bearing it gets me outta here.

 

This is why this website hates 3rd gen owners

 

But here you are in the...wait for it...3rd gen forum!
You're jealous! Admitting it is the first step, take it you'll feel better...eventually.

 

Over here trying to help, but you’re just a shit poster. One day I’ll learn

 

Yeah I doubt it!

 

I have"did" this and no lift, so ?

I just did it when the truck was new so everything was easy to remove. for the 15 to 20 years i will have the truck it is under $5 a year.

Now this.

 

I didn't have any issues... but i did the swap when i re-geared. To each their own.

 

Eventually, yes. As of right now no issues with it but the oem needle bearing is known to cause issues with any lift. I’ll replace the oem when I do gears here soon.
