upgrade wheel bearings

[04fording]

I was told that in the newer fords there is a kit you can get to do away with the sealed unit and go back to serviceable bearings anyone know about them or where to find them?

Go cut a branch off the money tree.

Is it that much?

[ars5147]

The site says $1550 for the kit. Could probably get at least a few sets of unit bearings for a few hundred thousand miles for what this particular kit costs.

Ouch someone i talked to say it wasnt much more then stock.

[ars5147]

There could be others, that's just the one that I could think of off the top of my head.

Dynatrac has a setup for us. Think the cutoff is 2004 trucks though....

[HankY]

yes the dynatrac are also about $2K for the changeout!

Well for that kind of monet I think that I will just stick with the oem.

Did the Dynatrac conversion... Was about 2 grand if I remember right. Totally worth it. New bearings are around 50 bucks when they go out versus ~800 each for the non-serviceable hubs.

Note: you won't have the auto locking hub feature anymore.. So, you'll have to actually get off you butt to lock the hubs like an old school truck.
