    Stock for now
    I have a 2013 4WD with 13000 miles that has developed the front differential bearing noise. The truck has 5100's set at 1.75" other than that the front suspension is stock. I am going to try to have the dealer install the East Coast Gear bearing when it goes into the shop. Before you tell me that they won't do it understand that the GM of the dealership is a friend of mine. I don't want to put anyone in a bad spot so if he doesn't feel comfortable doing it then I will let them put the OEM part back in as well as R&R any other damage that may have resulted from the issue. I don't want to continue to deal with this so my question is if I can't get the ECS bearing installed at the dealer can anyone recommend a competent shop in the Cincinnati area to have this preformed. I would be willing to travel around 100 or so miles to have it done. Also how much should I expect to pay to have it done.

    Thanks
