I have a 2017 2500, 4 x 2, 6.7 Cummings. 86,000 miles. Front hubs and bearings plus rear axle bearings all went bad at same time. Truck has only road miles, some on dirt ,and a few tows of less than 7000 lbs. Anyone else have a problem with wheel bearings on a Ram HD?

I guess anything is possible..a front is not out of the norm with unit bearings. The chance of the back or all being bad is not likely. Have you rocked the wheels while off the ground or heard bad noises or is someone telling you that they are bad?

That is exactly what I was going to ask, that sounds like someone trying to make some money to me.
Wheels were rocked at a trusted tire/brake/alignment shop - rear end noise. I can hear the grinding at 35-40 mph. Took the truck in the dealer's shop for repair and they found front end hub/bearing damage. Did not listen to my telling them it was rear end that needed checking. Picked up truck and could still hear what I took to be rear end bearing(s). Back to shop the next day. Dealer mechanic rode with me and said he heard the bearing noise before I could tell him to listen for rear end.
Truck is under warranty - repairs are not out of my pocket.
This why I asked question here. How did all these bearings fail at around same time?? Bad materials???? Anyone else had this problem with 2500 HD???
