Thanks for quoting the small piece you did, instead of the whole thing. It forced me to notice that I missed the word "Never".

To re-state:
My GMC never left me stranded

But anyway, I think the wheel bearings are a common problem for the GM full size truck line, and making that worse, they are integrated with the hub and part of the ABS sensor. New units cost $200 or more. I understand that they're at least very easy to replace, though I always had mine done by a mechanic.
