    All I can say is I hope they start seeing big numbers on their fuel mileage and their profits, since the only big thing they have seen is disappointments here lately.

    Maybe they should hire someone getting 10's (Dice, Backdraft, etc) to drive it for a week and see what it'll do.

    This is what I can't believe. The Microblue bearings were not in the engine for what ever reason. They went to the time and trouble to pull off a wheel, but couldn't take 15 minutes to R&R the top plate on the transmission to check it and also shine a light or bore scope through the fill plug of the rear to make sure Microblue is there?

    It doesn't matter one way or another whether MicroBlue is Present or not. It won't make a difference. And waiting for the engine to break-in, won't make that much of a difference either.
    I still have Microblue bearings in only one steer axle position. If there is less friction on one side, shouldn't the the truck be pulling to the other side with more friction?

    I'm interested if they actually got what they paid for. If they didn't in the engine, I darn sure would check the trans and rear.
     
    KW Cajun and double yellow Thank this.

    So any cliffs from MATS? What is PPs official position? How did they respond to bearing wear and lack of micro blue?
