    Got myself into a pickle here… Had this truck since new and got 435K on it now with no significant issues. Started getting a bit of a rumble while decelerating and thought it might be time to replace the front wheel bearings…. Gathered as much info as I could from online and thought “No big deal” … WRONG!!! Come to find out no one sells an aftermarket hub, and no one mentions that there are actually 2 bearings per hub. The outer bearings on both hubs wound up getting destroyed while trying to press out the hubs. Bearings frozen on the hubs… So… does anyone know where I can find replacement parts? Hoping I don’t have to buy full assemblies from the dealership. Getting the outer races out of the knuckles can probably be done with some careful Dremel grinding. Thanks in advance…

    For the 00-02 trucks you can get the whole knuckle but they are $700 a side for aftermarket. Probably be better off finding a junkyard truck if you can. Just keep in mind after 03-06 is a different spindle from the earlier ones. Think it has to do with lower ball joint design.
