| Purchased a new gmc truck valued at $40,000 at 38,000 miles the drivers side front wheel bearing failed and at 48,000 miles passenger side front wheel bearing failed. seems to be that defective parts are being installed on trucks at assembly. when passenger side failed also ruined brake rotor. after researching on the internet it seems to be a ongoing problem with these gm trucks. *tr | |||
