Are there any of their bearings that have ever failed or not?
How about LN's bearings with dof? Just asking
Last I saw, dual row replacements were at an estimated 75,000 miles.

LN has never had a dual row unit fail to my knowledge, and the handful of single rows that failed were traced to improper installation techniques.

The LN bearing does not need an oil feed, oil mist inside the crankcase is more than enough lubrication, as demonstrated by nearly 20K successful installations. The DOF ads unnecessary complications and has been known to introduce other problems.
