Well, leaving work and noticed a terrible screeching sound coming from the front end like metal on metal. Luckily I was close to a dealer.
Now I normally try to avoid the dealer and price out parts but I needed my truck for work the next day. Anyway to make a story short.

With both front wheel bearings and a simple oil change it came to $765 Canadian.

Seems a little steep but they know they got ya by the short and curlies when you limp in the service bay.

I have one bearing with some play in it (35'000 miles:shocked:) and tire guy refused to do the alinement because of that.
As it seems the bearing itself is not available/no one does it so you need to change the complete hub assembly and the price at AllMoparParts is 202US$ each.

So you paid already about 500U$ for the two hub assemblys and engine oil and the rest would be work making the price looking not too expensive.
