Front hub assembly for '04 2500 Suburban
I am trying to find out if the front hub assembly for an '04 2500 Suburban 4x4 is the same as a 2500 HD truck...
I am having a hard finding part numbers to actualy compare the two. My guess is the 2500 Suburban front end is the same as the 2500 truck.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Just checked Rockauto.com they have the same part #'s.
05 2500HD CC LB LLY, 4x4, 3.73s 235/85R16's, webasto cab heater, to keep it warm.
03 Buick Rendezvous - When you average over 80 miles per day driving around, you need one of these.

82 K20, 6.2, SM465, NP208, stock except for bed rack, snow plow, and glow plugs are on a toggle switch. It works great for plowing!

Thanks Mark!
I did some digging and I found the same thing. Looks like the 2500HD, 3500HD, 2500 Suburban 4x4, and the Hummer all have the same part number. I haven't looked at the 1500s but I think they may use the same number as well because the guy asked me if it had 6 or 8 lugs.Timken part number SP580310
Which by the way, if true about the 1500s, really ticks me off!!!
What the HECK is GM doing putting a 1/2 ton-truck-rated wheel hub on a 2500 or 3500 truck/SUV!!!!
Maybe that's why the Mrs.' 2500 Suburban that has done nothing (no towing) except take her back and forth to work for 10 years, eats up a wheel hubs at 100K miles!!
I have a 1996 Caprice with 160,000 miles on the clock and I just repacked the original front bearings and off I go....

1500 and 2500's don't interchange except for the few 1500HD's that are actually 2500's with 3.73 gears.....
The bearings on the 1500's (except the 1500HD) are smaller and have only 6 lugs, and of course the 2500's are bigger and have 8 lugs.

The unit bearings are crap.
At least the Chevy's lasted 100K miles, I know plenty of Dodge and Ford boys that have had to replace them at 20K miles. Heck the Dodge ones seem to catch fire when they go.
