Look in the Help forum under Body Parts. I listed a bunch of places where you can search for &quot;recycled&quot; parts.<br><br>Chris

I think a got a passenger front hub going out, I called the my dealer and they told me to jack that side of the truck up and grab the wheel at the 12:00 and 6:00 postion and try to move the wheel up and down and if it moves then the hub is bad. [/quote]

i would try moving it in and out not up and down

[quote author=Cattle Hauler link=board=4;threadid=13135;start=0#123794 date=1049387420]
They gave me a price of 306.00 plus tax for that hub. Anybody know where I can get one cheaper or even one froma wrecked truck maybe. [/quote]

sounds about right from the dealership
i know that napa has them for 1/2 tons you may check with them they are about 1/2 price of the dealer
[quote author=Cattle Hauler link=board=4;threadid=13135;start=0#123794 date=1049387420]They told me that the front hubs are differnet on the 2500 and 3500. That a 3/4 hub will not work on a 1-ton truck.[/quote]

this is true you have Dually hubs they are differant offset (wider) than 3/4 ton

Re:4x4 front hub

My left side bearings went out. Napa has the hub assembly for $225.00. The replacement wasent to bad. Moving the wheel at the 6 and 12 oclock position is correct. Mine had lots of movement in it.

Re:4x4 front hub

my driver side is going out and i got one coming from a salvagefor 150.00 dealer wanted 285. for one. When i get the old one off i'm going to take it apart and look at the bearing assembly and see if their is a way to replace the bearing inside the hub. when they go out the grind and make a thumping noise going down the road. i'll keep you posted on what happens .
