Unhappy Hub Bearing question

Hello everyone. The left font wheel hub bearing on my '98 Dodge 1500 is in need of replacement. This truck is four wheel drive, and is equipped with four wheel ABS. I went to my friendly NAPA parts store, and was given two part numbers for this hub. (BR930415, and PBR930415) There is a steep price difference between the two, and the counter person couldn't tell me what the difference is. Does anyone out there know what the difference is, and which is the correct part?

Another way you can get parts from N.A.P.A., and probably other outfits, is to give them the last eight digits of the trucks serial number. At least I think it was eight, they should know. This might help narrow things down.

I suspect the only difference between the two is the name on the box. There *might* be a difference in quality, but, I wouldn't hold my breath on that.

Just two different quality bearings. Take a look at SKF bearings on Rock Auto.

TIMKEN!!!!

Oem and best out there. The counter kid may have grabbed one with ABS and one without. There is a significant price difference between the two.
