Rich , I wonder also, but it's not like I am stuck on the moon with an IMS failure and can"t get home. AAA tow truck ! (keep your membership ! ) "Major Tom" (He's Danger's cousin)

Well with all this fear mongering I guess I don't want to feel left out. Misery loves company. Thinking of installing the guardian. During the last and the very first oil that "I" did i filtered the entire 8 qt of oil thru a fine filter - didn't have the magnetic plug. I found some very fine metal particles. could hardly see them but when touching the, you could feel them. I would guess about 20-30 of them at the most. Looked nothing like the oicture on the LN website. Ran the camchaft deviation on Durametric and it is steady and not wavering. Not at 0 but remember around -3 or -4 something for 1 and 2.

My questions to you wise men are is the above any indication of impending doomsday (or kaboom day) or an indication of all is well now but keep monitoring. Other question is with the Ims guardian installed, is the Ims bearing the only part that will throw out bits and pieces of metal? Would anything else possibly cause metal pieces to float around and trigger an alert?

No fear. No mongering. I, for one, always like a service contract on any used vehicle I have. If you keep your cars in stock, mint condition (and little things cost 600-1,000 to repair) it's worth it. There's a higher probability that the mechanisms in your windows and top will go out than any IMS. My warranty covers all of them.
