2006 front bearings, ebay = $99

This ad on Ebay says 2003-2005. Is the 2006 the same bearing.

$99 with a lifetime guantee is a pretty good deal...........no?

Well, I am local and tracked a number down for the guy and went and bought one to replace one that was clicking and popping on mine. You are going to have many folks on here giving you the "get what you pay for" speech in no time flat and there is probably some validity to that, but for 99.00 I said what the heck and I would try it. They way parts of all sorts are produced and repackaged now adays, you never seem to know what the heck you are getting anyway.

The bearing looked great although that doesn't mean much I guess. I will say I was very pleased with it. They are made by GMB or GBM, I forget which way it is.

Mine has been on for about 500 miles so I don't have any long term experience with them, but I think I am going to go buy another just to have it in the garage for 99.00.

There is my .02cents

Add some extra grease through the ABS hole (that actually sounds funny right there )

Click on Dodge in the blue column to the left, then go to page 2. There is a different bearing listed for 06,07,08. It is also less money.

it is here, http://stores.ebay.com/Hub-and-Beari...0Q2em14?_pgn=2

Bought 2 complete hub/brg. assy.'s from Oreilly for $129.00/ea., 2 year warranty (almost as good as 5*). These are complete including ABS sensor.
Installed 1 with no problem, now has about 4000mi. with no problem, other 1 on shelf. I also believed "get what you pay for" till I bought this truck which, although I like very much, exemplifies today's "cheap and dirty" production.
