I had to replace mine at 95,000. I’ve always kept my maintenance a priority! Top of the line fluids, the whole 9. Like dkl said, get to it before it spins, or causes crank damage. The more wear, the more money to repair.
My service shop said, one of the main causes is not warming the oil to a temp of 160 before operation, poor oil intervals, and extreme spirited driving.
I personally warm my truck up for at least 5 to 7 minutes, and I always change my oil at 3500 to 5000 miles. I do drive her with enthusiasm, and it’s a rarity, but nothing I feel would call for rod bearings.
Maybe some of us have some that are faulty?
