From what I've been told by my fatrer who Is driving truck while I'm away is that the hub exploded and the wheel is sitting cockeyed and needle bearings everywhere. Ya think anything else is dammaged , anyone have part #s for aftermarket hubs if they make them, Its one thing after another with this 97 . This is my first hub experiance with any of my trucks, I thought it would never happen to me lol.

 

dont have part number but get them from NAPA. about $175 each

If you can afford it i would go with the Dynatrack conversion if you can. It has lock out hubs and survicable wheel berrings.

 

Make sure when putting it back together that the brake caliper mount isn't bent. I had to heat the heck out of one to get it straightened out. When the bearing went, it let the rotor come in at the top, and that is a lot of weight. I made a large disclaimer note of it on the repair bill. He hasn't had anymore problems in over 2 years!.
