Well it was the bearing...he said it was almost seized up. It didnt take anything else with it...I guess I was jst paranoid about the brakes....and I was half in snow...idk Ill notice if its weird when I drive it tommarow. Should I get the driverside done also...is it gona be close to going out if the other one did? I would rather do it now, then have it go out in a bit...

when the bearing starts going bad, it will sit off center, which will make the truck pull to the side of the bad bearing. when you apply the brake, even slightly, you will recenter the bearing and it may roll ok...all of this leads to an interesting brake feel, which may lead you to be;lieve your brakes are bad.
at least it didnt fail totally on you.
