No problem. Yes the truck also has the larger 7700/expy brakes.

Thanks again for the support, yea, shedded some light on this today ashamed to say lol. Everything else is up to par in the system and ten sum, shouldn't be doing that when hitting the skidders hard. Never thought to investigate the booster. Of course it hit me once realizing what brake assist really is....jeezzz.. lol.

I'm back and forth between moog and Timken assemblies. What do yall use?
I put Timkens on my '99, and have them saved in a list on Amazon for the '03, as I'm starting to notice a little noise in right curves.

P.S. There was no manual wiggle in the '99 hubs, but they (or one) were/was bad enough to make the ABS act up even before the noise got bad.

Thank you for that. I was leaning Timken but honestly don't know if I can wait for shipping. My abs isn't acting up yet so I'm hoping I have enough time for parts to get here. I'll probably put 200 miles on the truck today so hopefully it wont get any louder.

JP, as long as the bearings say USA, Japan, or Spain on them - I wouldn't have a problem using them. I've found that the Timken, SKF, and National bearings often intermingle their parts among themselves. You might be able to find something by just going to NAPA and asking to see what's in the box.

I may just have to do that. I wasnt aware that they were in the same family. Thank you White.

Well it looks like I cant wait for shipping. The front left bearing made an audible pop and now has an intermittent squeal as well as the low pitch growl. Looks like I might have to go pick up an assembly and take it to a shop. There is no play yet but I dont know if I should take the chance it will fail in the 60 or so more miles I need my truck for today. The local Napa has Opt. 1 and Option 2 and Advance has Option 3. If I order them online and pick up in store I can take a 20% discount off of any off them so I would like to do that.

What would yall go with? Im sorry for clogging up the thread like this guys.

Option 2. It's an SKF bearing.

No problem. FYI - A lot of the NAPA warranty sheets will tell you the manufacturer in the literature.
