Lance, from what he told me was that when they move their mfg to Mexico, they started using the cheap bearings. Idk what year it was, but before 2014. The ones made in the states don't have them. Please Chime in Ben if I got it wrong.

They would assemble them there but where are the transmissions made at ?
They try like hell to keep it a secret where all there stuff is made at
They feel if you knew where it is made at that could affect sales
You can pretty much rest assured that it is not made in the usa anymore
Surely not, nor should it. I like mine and wouldn't trade it for anything out there, right now. I plan on keeping it for a long time and believe that doing this is going to make my car more reliable, given the remote places that we go. When the trans case gets blown apart, it locks everything up and makes it very difficult to retrieve the car. It also means a new trans at 2600.00. I was told that there have been 8 cars in this area that this has happened to. Right or wrong, I needed to have this work done for my own piece of mind
