Lol. Thanks, man. Since the Napa one's have turned out to be so horrible (the passenger side is still good...for now), I'll likely just chalk this up to a loss and lesson learned.

Bought the good ones! They were $400 bucks a pop!

...well, at least I THOUGHT they'd be good. They weren't the house brand.

Unless you're asking about the Oreilly one I bought yesterday. In this case, I bought the good one. The house brand was $99 bucks and the one I bought was $142 non-house brand.

$400 a piece is ridiculous. Timkens are probably the best. They charged you list price. Stay away from that place.

LOL

Sorry. I set up my sig on the *other* site but never got around to doing this one. I'll do a copy/paste later when I'm not posting from my phone.

Just for giggles, my truck is a 99 1/2 ton RCSB 4X4 Sport with the 360/auto.

No problem bud. Just do it. It will take all of one minute and make things a lot easier. After all, since you have 488 posts, I'd think you would get it by now

I have that many already?!? DANG! I almost always post from the phone and that info doesn't show. It's all text-based so no sigs, avatars, or user info show.
