go to rockauto.com. i now buy all my parts there, there great. it's there. ive replace three on mine. 2 ii ordereed from advanced auto for around 180. 00 i think. *****one note, when putting the axil nut back on, make sure you torque it to the proppere torque(somewhere arouond 180ft ponds) if not, the ebearing will loosen out of the sleeve it's pressed into, and, u guessed it, buby bearing... .

almost forgot, our trucks only have rear abs, that might work some of the time if that. there is no front abs, so your parts guy is wrong. i have a 96 8800gvw, 4x4 that ive replaced everey part on, and learned alot.

94-99 their was a 4 wheel ABS option. Not very common at all. I saw a 99 the other day that had the tone ring on the axle, but it wasn't a 4 wheel abs.

my 95 has 4 wheel ABS. It was a factory option that I ordered when building the truck back in September 1994.

The 4 wheel ABS on a 96 is a POS that doesn't work well anyway. I would not spend a dime to make if functional and many have disconnected it so they can safely stop the old fashioned way.
