How hard is it to find rod bearings?

You wouldn't think it would be so hard, but I found out today that no auto parts store in the area carries them and all would have to order from out of state.

Good news is that the nasty noise from inside my motor looks to be a spun bearing and doesn't seem to have affected the caps.

Bad news is that the truck is out of commission till I can get the bearing set in hand (4-7 days).

Nobody rebuilds engines anymore? 03 Dodge 5.7 and nothing available. Poo.

Oh well, if this is all the problem is then I will be happy.

I just wanted to share after spending the better part of Sunday with pouring rain coming down. Time to dry off and warm up.
