Finally got my Box back and wouldn't you know the RMS WAS leaking. So I had the RMS, AOS, and IMS replaced. He went over the engine, drivetrain, and suspension and everything looks great.
A couple of curious things I learned. LN supplies a sticker to put on the boot lid to certify the IMS Retrofit has been completed on the vehicle. They also ask for the old IMS and an oil sample to be sent back to them for inspection. Anyone else send theirs back?
For those looking at used vehicles which claim they have the IMS Retro, the sticker in the boot might help determine if it was genuinely done.

I have the LN IMS trunk sticker and the complete invoice breakdown as proof. They gave me my old bearing & flange and no oil analysis was done. The old bearing looks and feels fine and makes a great paper weight/conversation starter.
PS: Hey, look at that, my 500th post!

Congrats man!
P.S. My IMS had very slight play in it. So I feel better about replacing it.

We send everyone back, and the sticker is supposed to go in the driver's door jam.
