I would change out the unit. Specially if it has a lot of miles on it.

Yes I do have a real quick "clunk, clunk" when I hit a bump. Which of those 2 timkens should I use? Thanks for your help JL!
the coarse & fine thread refers to your wheel studs.. depends on which lug nuts you have.
your "clunk clunk" is probably sway bar links or bushings..

OK here is an update. 29 degrees and windy=fun day to work on truck! Today pulled the old hub assembly off and replaced it with a new Timken unit. While I was doing this I took the brake caliper off and the pins were corroded so bad they would not even come out! Good thing I had the upgraded pins already, but I did have to get another Caliper bracket. The brakes now work correctly! Anyway as soon as I got the tire off I knew that the Hub assembly was not the reason for the vibration noise. I could move the UV joint up and down alot and see that the loose part was in the axle housing. I removed the hub assembly and the needle bearing was in perfect condition. It had plenty of grease and rolled very smoothly. I figured the hub assembly had a butt load of miles on it so I replaced it anyway. I drove the truck afterwards and the same vibration noise is still there. The pic below will point out the loose part. The picture is not of my truck it is just one I found that was clear. That part is what seems loose and is allowing all the play. I think Im going to take it to the shop that did my rear bearings and the uv joints on the drive shaft and see if they can do it for me.

That is the dust seal. It keeps the crap out of the tube. Well, supposed to keep crap out of the tube. Most of the time they are broken and flopping around the axle.
