Main Bearings
A friend of mine who drives a 98 Dodge Commins diesel stoped by the other day and I told him that my 97PS had 327K on it and was still running strong. My tranny is a John Wood E4OD. My friend told me that I had better have my Main Bearings changed. I am not a mechanic but I have taken good care of my PS. Oil changes every 3K and I haul 16K with my John Wood Tranny to vegas once a week. What up about the main Bearings. Thanks in advance

He is feeling a little insecure about his own rig so he is trying to sow seeds of doubt about the quality/endurance of yours.
You'll know it if you start having main bearing noise. Keep up your maintenance schedule and tell him to go fly a kite.
Has his doge box started dropping pieces off the body/chassis yet? Something surely should have rusted off by now.......
Ah- you are in a dry state- no snow and subsequent road salt. Seems like most Dodge trucks around this part of the country with any age on them have pieces falling off.

Hey Dennis, what is the deal with the John Wood tranny? Is it good for heavy pulling and mods? If I do have to put one in mine I am looking at putting a good one that will last. What is the price ranges of that tranny? Where do you get them from?
I have a 1997 cc sb, 4X4, 7.3 powerstroke, automatic, 33 X12.50 X 16.5 BF's, 2" lift for now
