Just wondering if any one has had to replace their front wheel bearings (4WD Hub) on a new body style truck. Mine went out a few nights ago. Any one have a part number of idea of what these things cost from the dealer? I have a feeling it will be expensive since it has the ABS sensor in it..

Both of my front wheel bearings failed and were replaced while the truck was under warranty. I got the truck stuck in water up to the rocker panels and I'm pretty sure when this happened that water entered the bearings. Since they were replaced I've put over 40,000 miles on them and don't foresee them failing again soon.

 

I believe that this is an end-user installable part and with the exception of a socket for the spindle nut should not require any special tools.

 

Part number 15740291, available from GMPartsDirect.Com for $107 each. I understand that these guys make money on their shipping charges. I've had good luck getting jobber pricing by calling the parts counter at various dealerships, asking for pricing and availability for the part number I need, telling them I'm sending my driver to pick up the part, and then going down to get it myself. Your mileage may vary.

 

Before ordering this part, confirm that it is correct for your application. This part number is for "4wd, Front, Vacuum Brakes". The part for my truck is 15042868, which is for "4wd, Front, Hydraulic Brakes" and has an eight lug pattern.

 

This assembly includes the ABS sensor and pigtail as well as the wheel studs already installed. It is not handed (same part for both sides).

 

I have one of the old ones that was replaced. If you'd like me to, I could take some pictures of it off of the truck and e-mail them to you.

 

 

 

Good Luck!

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
