There is a TSB or service bulletin with the outer shaft part number, I dont think it will just show up for the parts guy. The needle bearing I'm refereing to it the one on the back side of the assembly. Pictures and all that are in the link in my first post. Ford says the main bearings in the...- sbiggi

Hub needle bearing
1. The needle bearing is replaceable. You can get it from napa or ford. 5. The hub unit or wheel bearing unit is a piece of cake to replace. Takes less then a hour to pop it off and a new one in with out a lift if you arent swapping mounting hardware to the new unit. The locking hub unit...- sbiggi

Sorry, outer axle shaft. You just pull it out and take the u joint apart and replace the outer section of the axle shaft. The dealer here wants $200 for it :(- sbiggi

Hub needle bearing
Ouch, I'd never pay some one to fix my vehicles. Its real easy to pull the hub, a total of 4 nuts and 2 bolts have to be taken off. I get a discount at pepboys, so I spent $98 so far. I'm sure the dealer will rape me for the stub shaft, but I'll look online first for the part.- sbiggi

Hub needle bearing
Well the needle bearing was seized and was making the noise, but the wheel bearing was also toast. Looks like the previous owner also did something to it as the seal plate on the stub shaft was f'd up and the plastic thrust washer was not in there. I reaplced the hub with the $115 prostop...- sbiggi

Hub needle bearing
My truck started making a very loud grinding squeeling noise last night. It would come and go when going over bumps or cracks in the road. If I put it in 4wd it goes away. I just tried locking the hub and it seems it went away. Does that indicate its the needle bearing like on this site...- sbiggi

Find bad injector
Turns out the scanner doesnt do that test because it hasnt been updated to the latest software. I got the FICM flashed with the latest inductive heat cycle.... and that seems to have made it run horrible on a cold start. I can let it warm up for 5 minutes, seems fine untill you put it in...- sbiggi

Question Transmission flush - only 10 qts came out?
There is no way you'll get all the old stuff out with gravity or blowing air in. You need to hook it up to a machine that collects the old fluid and pumps in new fluid in order to fully flush the transmission. If the fluid doesnt look or smell burnt any more, then you should be just fine the...- sbiggi
