The shop is closing for the weekend so it wont be completed until sometime next week.
A week plus for a carrier bearing? To me it seems like a long time but I guess if its not completed in a few weeks I will be looking back thinking that one week would have been quick.
Well Sir,
In my last post, I did mention that most "carrier bearings" are quite common. You're working with an RV service center and, working with warranty right now so, you're having to deal with whatever they toss you in time limits and parts availability.
Unless that bearing was made on Pluto or Mars, it's a very common bearing and, I'd just about bet my house that, a drive shaft shop or, Regular truck repair center, would have had you in and out, in one day. I've not seen yours or, any other H/R and looked at those carrier bearings. I had two of them on my previous coach, a '99 Fleetwood Bounder 34V with the F-53 Chassis and V-10. I had one on my coach before that, an Ultra, 27' Class C with the F-350 Chassis. Both had to have the carrier bearings replaced at one time or another. I did it myself since it's an easy operation.
Both of those repairs were quite some time ago, but, I do remember the availability of the bearings was readily. I had them almost instantly. But, again, maybe yours is something incredibly odd.
