Default 4x4 hub replacement (abs light)

My abs light comes on when I turn left , had it scanned and the mechanic pulled a right front hub code. He wanted to bend me over and give it to me with no lube for the repair which being a certified motorcycle tech I'd have no problem doing, but anyway...getting to the point. What is a good brand of hub to use? I've found a bunch on eBay which blow the auto parts store rapists out of the water but wondered if anyone here has delt with this issue before and had successful results with a particular brand. I've checked it all over and looked for shorts or **** poor connections so save your breath commenting on the like, just gonna swap em for the hell of it considering the truck is new to me and I don't trust the last *** who may have owned it. Just looking for brand name input..thx

Ive used both timken and ac delco myself. Timken comes with a 2 or 3 year warranty from some parts stores.
