Default Wheel Bearing issue

I have an 05 1/2 ton GMC seirra Z71 and have had to replace a lot of wheel bearings since i got it. Is there a specific brand i should be getting? I heard these models have had this issue and was wondering if anyone has been able to resolve it.

If your buying the cheap chinese crap from all the auto stores you will be replacing them often. The best is Timken bearings, they will last forever but will cost you alot.

ToooTall1 is right. Unless you go with the genuine GM replacement or something comparable, which is going to be considerably more than any off brand, you will continue to have this problem. You will get what you pay for when it comes to bearings.
