Does any know if there is a difference in the IMS bearing from  pelican parts for 189 dollars and the other ones that range from 600 to 800 , seems a lot cheaper , but is it cheaper for a reason ?!

Yup, very simple: The cheap Pelican bearing is a single row, steel bearing just like the one that came in single row engines.  So if you put it in, you are no better off than what you had in the first place.  Pelican only offers this in a single row, so if you have a dual row engine, you trade out the strongest factory bearing for the weakest, which seems totally counter intuitive.

 

The LN system uses a ceramic hybrid bearing that is made to their specification, which is much more durable than the oem bearings, and the reason LN has more than 25,000 successful installations on the road.  So you do get what you pays for................
