Hey everybody. I recently got a 2003 F-350 6.0 4x4 w/ 225k on the clock. I ran through all the typical issues and it checks out, solid truck. I do however need to replace the front wheel bearings/hubs. Ive got WARN locking hubs. Any suggestions on which brand holds up best? Thanks.

I just did my front u joint on my 05 with 320k and it has timkin bearings. They seem to hold up very well. Make sure you buy the knipex circlip pliers before you do the job. The snap ring will destroy most off the shelf snap ring pliers. I spent two hours and three sets of snap ring pliers before I had to make my own tool.
Timken. And since someone mentioned the snap ring pliers, here is everything you ever wanted to know about which snap ring pliers you need:

I can't tell you why, but Timken hub/bearings just had a big price drop on Amazon. It likely won't last long. $139. I ordered 2.

that has trouble written all over it
Amazon is not an Authorized Timken retailer ( from Timken)
Amazon and warranties after the short return policy are not likely to happen for you
Timken and counterfeit are a huge issue I suggest buying from a sponsor on here like 1A who will honor a warranty and will extend the warranty to lifetime
also I have to remove your link since it is an item our paying sponsors sell also

I was unaware of not being able to post links if it is an item sold by a sponsor, my apologies.
Yes if you want to warranty it then you are likely out of luck. On the counterfeit issue I have had good experience when the item is sold by Amazon. I steer clear if it is sold by someone else through amazon.
Any idea how the 1A warranty works? Do you have to send the item back first? The return shipping will be expensive, unless 1A pays for it, but probably still worth it vs buying a new hub.

No worries on the link
that just happens to be an item a few vendors on here sell and it is policy
I agree the chances of counterfeit are less if sold/shipped by Amazon
but that price screams potential issue lol
