    For those of you without FakeBook. Seeing this, PP wouldn't be allowed to ever touch a piece of my equipment. Not sure I'd trust them to do a brake job! I hope the owners of this catastrophe pursue legal remedies to make this right, because they sure didn't get what they paid for!

    Actually he does. His silence speaks volumes. He canceled his appearance at MATS over this.

    I don't have an opinion on microblue. It looks like the owners either did not get what they paid for, or else engine oil washed the microblue away.

    I would like to know if anyone that has microblue wheel bearings, has seen what the treatment on the bearings look like after 100,000 miles.

    The booth that PP has will have interesting conversations.

    After three months the rollers looked the same as any other. No change in fuel economy after removal. . View attachment 80901 View attachment 80902

    I never saw an improvement in MPG with bearings on truck and trailer. I also had mechanical issues after with leaking injector cups so I can't say it never worked. I did them 200k miles ago and haven't had issues.

    I'm more upset that the owners are the only one keeping things updated. At this point a bunch of us on here could build a motor better than PP. Any takers??

    I would like to see the cam bearings to check for contamination through the whole oiling system or maybe a lack of circulating oil at some point.

    I feel bad for those guys trying to be successful in this industry, when they have little mechanical ability. You can't trust anyone. I do a lot of work myself, but my truck does go into different shops. You have to always get under the truck and make sure work was done and nothing is going to fall off.
