Looks like I'm about to join the club. Which bearings have most of you used? I've checked threads and on line sites they run from around $70 to over $200. I took everyone's advice on the Bilsteins and getting the H2O out of the diff/vent tube. Now I wonder which bearings to get. I've seen some Timke...

upgraded to a cover with fill and drain plugs...

Where'd you get the upgraded cover, part no. , price ? At what mileage/age did you change the fluid? I will have my truck for three yrs. in July, but have kept the mileage down (25,000).

extended warranties

My '03 has 21,000 mis. and so far no real problems. So, who has an extended warranty, where'd you get it and what's its cost? Or, any pertinent info... I've just changed oil and driven my cc, but I read of the horror stories and am starting to think about, maybe I need an extended warranty. I haven'...

Don't know about the Huyabusa, but I just pd. $132 (annual) for full coverage on my 2001 Triumph Bonnveville. Yeah, 50 mis./gal. beats by CC. My Bonnie was 7250 new, new now may be around 8K, depending on the model. Low mileage used ones, much less.
