4x4 front hub question
local shop claims there are a few different varieties of the front hub...(different spline or bearing type perhaps)...difference in cost is significant.
searching up front hub parts, i can certainly see a difference in price, but im at a loss for whats different?
is there a quick and easy breakdown of the different hub types on these trucks?
mine have manual locks btw...if that matters?

appears to be the stud thread pitch thats the difference?
srsly? 100 dollars for studs?

04 has fine thread studs.
They changed I think late 02-early 03 from coarse threads to fine threads.
Course thread hubs seemed to be more when I was looking.
I think A1 auto was cheapest for the hubs with timken brand bearings. They seem to be the ones that last longer, or you could go the dyna trac free spin kits, $$ about 1800 and have repackable, replaceable bearings.

well ****, I wish id have seen that yesterday, would have saved me 160 dollars.
ill be sure to get that one for the other side....although I see that option is for the coarse thread only.

Fine thread is always more, it takes 15 more seconds the cut those threads.
