I used to have an S10 with a NP3550 if memory serves me, ran through 2 main input bearings in 3 years. The guy that sold me the 3rd bearing told me to quit using the syncromesh oil GM specified and run at least 85wt gear oil. The GM oil is essentially 5wt oil and wouldn't protect the bearings under heavy loads...I did kinda over do it with that truck. I took his advice and never had anymore trouble with it in 5 more years then sold the truck. It really didn't shift any harder unless I was playing fast and furious. Just a thought.
