Ford is Gouging us Bad!!!
I have Identified that I need new needle bearings for the hub assembly. I have a guy who can replace them and essentially make the assembly new. He has 2 super duty's and his dad has one. All 2000-2002, they own a truck rigging shop and are VERY good.
I set up a time to take my truck in, he went to get the bearings(15/ea) and Ford said they stopped selling them and that you had to buy the entire hub assembly.
Were not done yet trying to figure this out, but I darn sure don't want to pay $480 per side.

The needle bearings for the superduty's are the same as the bearings in a '75 ford dana 44 axle. When I was replacing mine, my father had a new bearing he had never installed in his truck and the numbers matched. I know other years would be the same. I just thought it was interesting how the same bearing fit a '75 model.

In the link Rick posted it tells all about it. The needle bearings are replaceable/serviceable but the bearings in the hub assembly itself are not. However you can grease them through the ABS sensor wire hole.

Save yourself the trouble in the long run and do a Hub conversion kit... Warn premium locking hubs with serviceable bearings...

I trust the guy doing it. He has the same truck, had the same problem and fixed it. I am also having him install the warn hubs at the same time. I traded the turbo for them.
I will tell him about the bearings being the same from 1975 dana 44.
