    I recently installed the blistein 5100's with .85/1 inch setting. I have not noticed any grinding or sounds. Not sure if this issue applies to my lift.. ?

    Not a ton of lift and your truck is new. Give it time and it could vibe eventually

    How much do you think is a reasonable price for a mechanic to charge to do this? And would they have to have the bearing puller with the bushing or would they have something to do this with?

    Probably need the ecgs puller tool. It's a custom fabricated tool

    This kit, like I said whoever wants to install my new bearing. Gets this kit, and the puller after they are done

    i assumed it was a newer design.. if not doesnt make sense to put the same back in if it is a design flaw..

    i have my first 5 k service tomorrow at dealer, going to ask if they can print the tsb so to read details..

    Just like when they replace the crappy faulty wheel bearings that they have using since 2005. They just put the same garbage back in.

    Yeah, either way, I think they're actually going to solve it due to ecgs showing them how to.
