Re: Heavy duty carrier bearing
 

I know this is a old thread but thought I would update it. I didn't use the bearing at all. I had questions about the drive shaft after the 6.0 4l80e install and decided to check it out myself. I found they screwed it up and cut mine to short. They Hawk's ended up having a 1 piece built for me at their cost.:chevy:

Re: Heavy duty carrier bearing
 

Sounds like you made out quite well!

Re: Heavy duty carrier bearing
 

Yes in the end Bruce the owner of Hawks made it right.I'm just glad it didn't come out of the transmission when I was driving it.:chevy:

Re: Heavy duty carrier bearing
 

I know you have a one-piece now, but why wouldn't you have upgraded to the HD carrier bearing instead of the light duty one?

Re: Heavy duty carrier bearing
 

I was going to because everyone talked about how good they where. I figured it was a good upgrade. After all this negativity I'm not sure I would.

:chevy:

Re: Heavy duty carrier bearing
 

Do you have any pictures of the one piece shaft installed?

Re: Heavy duty carrier bearing
 

I would also like to see the one piece shaft..

Re: Heavy duty carrier bearing
 

I have some but they aren't that good. But here you go.
