There are three things that will happen to the GMC owner.
Death, Taxes, and replacing the front wheel bearings.
Over the years, the GMC community has come up with 2 ways to stop the front
bearing replacement --- *forever*.
*One way* is to modify your front knuckles to have a zerk fitting to grease
the bearings, without removing them.
read the links here

When you have your bearings serviced, *do not do it without modifying or
replacing your knuckles*. All of our Vendors can do this...., and you can
do it your self.
Read here (page 109-3) as Emery describes how to do it your self, and how
the Timken Bearing Rep. says our bearings should last 1 million miles.

*the second way* to never replace your bearings again ,is to install the
Hubler 1 ton truck bearings. This is not easy, so read the links.

JMHO - Every GMC owner has to get this done and forget the GMC front
bearing replacement issue. We are going to run out of parts anyway.
good luck
