Yes this is what im talkin about.....sorry for the confusion. My DS bearing is rattling real bad and when I put it in 4wd it either sqeaks or roars loud.

During hunting season my truck sees alot of mud and high water so it dont surprise me when parts on my truck are wearing faster than a pavement pounder. I dont go mudding but I go though what I have to to get to the deer stand.

is it possible to use a 00-04 hub assembly on my 99. I don't use pulse vaccum hubs anymore, I have AVM manuals.And we are talking around 60$ dollars difference.

this got me thinking about my 01 wreck hubs that I was thinking of saving and my wife's 04, so I looked up parts....

The SKF part # is the same for 01-04, but Timken lists a different part for the 01 and 04. This is all Rockauto part #s, so I would guess that some work on all years (SKF at least) but for some reason Timken has two #s.

May not help, but I tried....
