Default Throwout bearing replacement

I have the Ram Level 3 (600hp) clutch, and need to replace the throwout bearing (seems to be making some noise). Where do I get them, and exactly what do I need? Thanks in advance!

You answered your own post....

That part you ordered already has a throwout bearing on it.

Yep...if you order a slave cylinder, it already has the throwout bearing on it. If you price the bearing by itself, you'll quickly see that it is just as worthwhile to buy the whole slave (since the bearings are $$$ by themselves). I just installed a new GM slave today, and it seems that they have modified the throwout bearing a little (a little bigger in diameter).

That's crap then... cuz I have hardly even used this... I replaced the slave cylinder when I did the ram clutch. I'm hearing noise now from the throwout. Wonder what would cause that.

Well...there are some parts that just aren't good from the get-go. You could have one of them.

So what do you guys recommend, I buy ANOTHER slave cylinder from ram that has the TO bearing on it or buy the TO individually? I don't even know how much the TO bearing is! I do know that the slave cylinder is still installed and bled, etc. Would've liked to put a new TO on and call it done but dont know where to get one. Hope someone can help.
