Front Hub Replacement - Which Brand?

[the Sandman]

The front hubs on my Typhoon were very loose. Dennis swapped in the Syclone hubs which are nice and tight, but I'll be needing at least one new pair in the near future. I have this from Loeryder's site:
GM #7466964
National: NAT-513061
Pronto: PRW-PT513061

Any recommendations which are the most durable?

I bent over and went for the GM ones. Had to cough too. :evil:

Pretty sure they are all the same...

Personal choice I would say.

Hey Sandman, email me with your GM price and I'll see if I can beat it.

Here's the info I have:

GM #7470013 (new #) - $313.91
Timken #513061 - $109.99
National #513061 - $149.99
Rockhill/Pronto #513061 - $124.99

From what I've seen (and I've had first hand experience with all of the above), there is VERY LITTLE quality difference in between brands. In fact, the Rockhill/Pronto ones are made by BCA/National, just reboxed with cheaper studs (sometimes). By far and away the Timken unit is the best deal (available at Autozone, etc... for that price - I just called).

Thanks for the responses!

I'd go with Timken. Very heavy duty. That is all I ever see on the GM EMD and GE locomotives I operate.

AutoZone.com brings up Timken 513013 for $58.99 if you look under 91 S-15 4x4. As I've found other parts that are listed properly under regular S-trucks and incorrectly for SyTy's, can anyone verify that 513013 won't work? Or know what the difference is?

ABS vs Non-ABS

The ABS hubs have the magnetic collars built into them, thats why they are more$$$.

If you delete your ABS you can use the cheaper std 4x4 hubs.
