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.

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.

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?
