87thousand and some change. The outer race was completely gone and it was actually missing some of the bearing them selves. But it was a relatively easy change

Yep, very easy on these trucks. Remove the wheel, brake caliper, pads and caliper carrier. Remove the dust cap and axle nut (it's only on there by 20ft-lbs). Pull the brake rotor off and remove the 4 bolts from the back side of the steering knuckle that hold the hub/bearing assembly on. Disconnect the ABS sensor wire and pull the hub/bearing off.

Assembly is the reverse of removal. Torque all bolts to proper specs.
