Lots of people have used them. Several have reported issues of the kevlar bushing spinning in the flywheel. Read this thread https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-flywheel.html There's a link in there to a different kind of bearing you might be interested in.

Hey man thanks for the info, sorry I haven't replied back. I'm supper busy with work but I sure gotta get the truck fixed. It's hard to shift into 1st, reverse and low when the truck is stationary..... I think it's the pilot, what do you think?
