I would also agree with using aftermarket hubs. Just make sure that you figure out what the problem is before you drive it because changing wheel bearings is no fun. I spent the weekend working on mine and the race is known for welding onto the spindle and sure enough it did.

I put a set of WARN premiums in my F250 early this month. I had the auto-locking hubs. It is relatively simple to replace the hubs IF you have the right tools. It takes a special socket to remove the old spindle nut and another special socket to install the new spindle nut. That cost me several trips to various auto parts stores. A torque wrench is also important.
