In all of real life I have never ever heard of that really happening. I 
had 2 1500's at over 90,000. Still had not "dropped" the thrust washer. 
The only one I ever heard about was mine. And that dropped due to a bad 
fit on my part. and it dropped at around 8000.

  Prove it, beyond hear say, or stuff it.
