wheel bearing - where to buy
Well, just finished my VP44 install on Sat. So of course my 11 year old truck would have the driver wheel bearing go out on Sun. Like shouldn't have driven to 70 miles that I did before catching it.
So. Where is the cheapest price on a wheel bearing? I looked through Rock Auto, but they've only got old school wheel bearings, not the "cartridge?"-type junk that we've got now.
Appreciate the help.

So I called O'Reilly's and they've got four choices. For a Spicer (I assume they are talking about Dana) 44 with and without ABS, and a Spicer 60 with or without ABS. How do you tell if your truck has rear wheel ABS or not? That is how O'Reilly's distinguished between a $255 hub assembly and a $355 hub assembly. They could not tell from my VIN. I know I've got an ABS light but I've never felt it activate and with my big tires/wheels I'm not sure it would even if I was skidding.

I just bought Timken, US made unit bearings from Autozone. $220 a side, and included new wheel studs. I looked at Rockauto, and they also had the Timken ones, and with shipping, was a good amount less- about $100, total. I just couldn't wait for them to be shipped.

I was gonna say we can't get just the bearings. We have to get the unit bearings. Make sure you anti seize everything very well. And if you need new rotors do it now. Our 99's are a PIA to change.

Hey scottsjeeprolet, what about those won't work on the '99, because those look (and sound) just like the ones I ordered through Rockauto. Timkens with the rectangular flange for the 8800GVW vehicle. D*%m! However, on Rockauto they are listed for the '99's.
BTW, I changed the rotors on my most recent ball joint swap (last summer). Hopefully they'll be good to go for a while.
Yeah, shouldn't have put the question about the ABS (it makes me look like a fool), I know darn well I don't have wires connected to my front wheel hubs. I've had both sides off two or three times.
Edited to subscribe. Thanks for the info folks.
