Ok so I am supposed to be damn near to Utah by now to work on Trents truck, and am currently riding home with a tow truck driver. I lost ANOTHER wheel bearing. Truck started shuddering and screeching about an hour and a half outside of Reno. I pulled over shut the truck off and checked everything out. Wheel flops around like a fish. What in the hell? I have replaced both hubs already. One at around 70k and one around 85k. WTF gives? Both from Napa, always torqued down properly and everything. No Utah today, and no money to buy a hub right now.

How many passes and miles on the truck since the last time you changed them?

 

[RENODMAX]

Trucks got 105k on it now. Probably 10 passes. I know that I should have checked them but I didnt think Id lose them that fast. Now once I get home I have to haul butt to UPS and overnight Trent his parts I was bringing. Dammit

 

[Kat]

Wendy's went out 35 and 38 k. So it seems they are not lasting long anymore.

that really sucks! that kinda crap always happens at the worst times

 

[RENODMAX]

I was like nooo f*&(ing way this is happening right now. Truck all loaded up and everything only to have to go back to Reno

That sucks, I too had to put a new bearing on the drivers side . After i put my lift on, it was screeching like crazy, It just decided to give up.

My bud at the dealer ship said he found them for around 100 bones at advance auto, off brand but cheap none the less.

My pass side lasted me 105k. Changed it and checked the drivers side and it is still tight. O and mine went out while I was taking parts to a buddy too haha.

 

[RENODMAX]

[Jack Bauer]

Changed bothe mine at 35K and change passenger side was shot. Bought Timken bearings with Llifetime warranty off of dmaxstore.com so far so good.

[KEVINL]

Knock On wood

 

[Turbotug]

My driver's side lasted until around 97k and the pass. is still good with 101k. Knock..knock..

 

[coldLBZ]

Damn Jordan that sucks. I got about 40k on mine. So far so good I think.

 

[TrentNell]

I new i should have had summit ship those parts :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:


JK man sucks you could'nt make it out here it would have been nice to have a spare hand . sorry about the bad luck .

 

[05lly2500hd]

That sucks, sorry to hear. It's only when you depend on/need your truck the most that it takes a dump on ya, been there done that! Hope you get figured out and back up and running........
You scare me though....I just bought a NAPA driver's side hub and just replaced it.......................first time I replaced it was from Eric's. This makes the second time.

man, i was just talking about this with a buddy today. my 02 with 80-85k on it gets 2wheelbearings(3 months apart), had a 6" lift, and offset wheels. my 01, which is my work truck, 285s and factory rims; it has a heavy ass boss vee plow on it every winter and pulls a trailer 5-6 days a week for the past 8yrs, is still on its factory bearings with close to 200k on it. my theory is us guys with with lifts and or offset wheels are trashing these wheelbearings easier than with the factory rim/offset. i would get timkens with the lifetime warranty and keep the reciept in the glovebox because you(we) will be changing them again guaranteed

 

[05maxlly]

had two trucks some both had one on opposite side go out at 103000 and mow only on truck went out at 108 the other side i wouldent buy the white box special from advanced unless u carry the tools to do it in the truck
