If you have a place that specalizes in bearings they may be able to match it up , I do this all the time , the other day at may coffee shop my friends comercial blender seazed up , the part at the bottom of the container that the blade and bearing sit in , he said that his restrant supply wanted 90.00 for the hole unit , I took a look and took it apart went to a place nearby that sells almost nouthing but bearings and seals and match up the bearing for 11.00 I charge buddy 40.00 and he through in lunch. I have'nt done it on this truck yet so I can'nt give you a part # , give it a try.

 

thanx john appreciate that im hoping someone already knows the part number ...i dont wanna take anything apart just yet ....whats the labour cost if i get this hub assembly replacemtn done? whats that a 2 -2.5 hour labour code?...so thats 350 + say another 150...darn 500$ and its a silly bearing that i imagine is about 30$!

 

You don't get just the bearings, you get the entire HUB. It has the inner and outer bearings installed and pressed together complete with the flange for mounting the rotor. Mine even came with new studs to bolt the adapter to the hub(dually). I thought the price was a ripoff too but when you see (and feel - heavy) what you get it is not that bad. I had to replace one so far after about 180 000 miles so the price did not bother me too much. Strange thing was the best price for me was actually at the dealer.

 

thanx sidewinder...guess im gonna postpone the 4k gsk's that i wanted ...what did the dealer charge ya?...mine wanted 390$ canadian with all the goods u listed...studs bolts n all that...Napa wanted 350$ canadian

 

The bearings aren't available separately you have to buy the whole hub. Many have tried and failed including me. Even going by the p/n on the bearing and dimensions only no luck.

 

MR T.

I also needed new locknuts, seals and and the thrust washer when I replaced mine

 

agh well ...looks like im gonna postpone the 4k gsks for a bit and get this thing done before i wobble on the side of the road somewhere...thanx guys...what do u guys recommend...buy the parts and take it to an independent shop?

 

on an unrelated subject since people are quick to respond today ...i was able to notice that right where injector # 4 and 5 are a have some sort of leak cause there's residue there... the lines are dry...probably just need to be tightened right? or is there some seal?...

 

If you have a press, just do it yourself. I have done both of them on my truck. You have to buy the whole darn hub. Cant remember what it cost me now. The 2nd one i bought was cheaper.

I just ordered a new bearing hub for mine today at car quest, $198.00. Strange, it's on my drivers side too.

 

car quest 198$?? thats awesome best price yet......i got canadian tire at 290$ there's napa at 350$ dealer at 390$ 198 is pretty good compared to what im hearing

 

rockauto.com.....$181 and change

 

Mr T. Those are U.S prices those guys are quoting you........

 

i realise that tool...thats ok still beats 390$ which the deal offered...what do u guys think about the labour in a shop? 2 hours?
