Bearings

[I Buck]

I have a 1995 Dodge 3/4 ton, 2 wheel drive, 5 speed stick I bought new. It has 147,000 miles on it. I like to practice preventive maintenance, service or change out wear parts to keep the truck reliable out on the road.
How long do rear wheel bearings generally last? I have never kept a truck this long!

They can go forever, almost. I have 327k on my '91 and 317 on the '01, one set each, wheel seals.

Dont let the differential run low on fluid otherwise the wheel bearings starve for lubrication.

The rear wheel bearings on mine are the originals. I have replaced the seals once, at about 800,000 miles.

Alright, I’ll just keep on trucking then. Thanks for the reply’s.
