And how much do you charge for that?

I am simply stating an observed fact: All ball bearing IMS units have some level of failure potential, and that the dual rows do fail and take the engines with them. We have had personal experience with failed single row, dual row, and even the oversized post 2005 units. The risk is real, and how people respond to those facts is entirely up to them and their personal level of risk aversion. Not everyone can afford to jump for a new bullet if their current engine suddenly dies, and some people intend to keep these cars for a long time, so they adjust their priorities accordingly. No one is holding a gun to their heads. And if you choose not to do anything about yours, well, that is your business.............
