I fully agree with you Cloudsurfer and as fate would have it I need to have the RMS on my '99 replaced as it has started to leak a little. The extra labor and cost to replace the IMS bearing while already in there is money well spent on maintenance and I'm going to go ahead and replace it as I will be tracking and AXing the car next spring. My view on the issue of IMS is that if it goes and junks my motor I would look at it as a situation to upgrade from what I've got and I'd slip in a new or rebuilt 3.2L.
