Not being able to replace the IMS concerns me, what would I look for maintenance way. I thought I read if the oil was changed regularly the odds of failure are unlikely. Just looking for some insight.
While the 06 IMS is not serviceable, you can remove the rear seal so that it lubricates using the engine oil mist, much like the LN IMS hybrid bearing does. We have done several of these and they are all still on the road (and track) without issue.
