Exactly what I discovered by pure luck. Thanks for the confirmation.

My duramax had such a bad bearing that the wheel wobbled slightly. Truck didn't have many tells, just too loud to hear it and there wasn't any bad handling feedback that you would expect for a wheel bearing that was about to blow. I caught it between tire rotations and right before driving across state. Lucky.

Another wheel bearing tell: Put one hand on the spring and spin the tire with the other hand. You will feel the vibration in the spring.
