    Default Wheel Bearings......

    Are the hub wheel bearings lubricated by the diff. fluid on these trucks?.....or do they need to be repacked with grease?.....

    The front hub bearings get packed, while the rear hub bearings are lubricated by the gear oil from the diff housing... I lightly greased the rears when I did my hub seals, but I don't think it's necessary.

    I'm new to these trucks, but the lubrication manual states that front and rear wheel bearings need packed with grease every 12,000 miles.
