I checked it out, thats with the rotor too $500/ you had to buy them that way for the first 5 years of production even if you just needed a rotor or speed sensor! I paid about $700 when I needed a new rotor years ago!now there $70!
I picked up a bearing yesterday and that part of the truck is done! I got a great quote from Rowboats friend, but it was 160 miles round trip to get it! I found a supplier of a second line bearing that comes with the speed sensor for $200
because I do the labour myself I thought it would be OK if it doesn't last 18yrs
like the first one!
just a word of caution to others, some of the second line bearings I inspected at suppliers before purchasing didn't even have the speed sensor holes machined during manufacturing [make sure you know what your buying if doing it online]! I would have been pissed if I waited 5days for shipping and received one of those!
Today I get to fight with 4new rear boots and some 100lb. brake drums for the next stage of Prev-maintenance! this is the part of winter I like getting the vehicles up to snuff,so I can spend my summer playing! thanks to all for the help!
