Has anybody tried these Dorman Bearing bolts? How are they? All I have ever used is the GM bolts - 8

The vibration dampers from them have a horrible deserved bad reputation for not lasting as long as the OEM/dealer. IMO they are a bottom of the barrel get it out the used car dealer door or hope you trade it before it fails. Other damaged parts from it's failure even at Autozone(sucks) is a PIA to get anyone to cover. (Like when the duracrap pad came off the backing plate and trashed my new, last of the USA cast, AC Delco brake rotor. I get 1/2 price China cast replacements... On my last day in Autozone.) Just saying: does ebay or amazon cover you any better or worse if the $18.00 of bolts fail?
 
The Dorman bolts are just fine. I have some old ones from the GMT 400 hubs I just swapped out in favor of the GMT 800 hubs and brakes. I used Dorman bolts from Rockauto to mount the Calipers.
 
I will have another set of 8 in February when I get around to doing the GMT 800 brake conversion on my son's '94. They've been pull recently as he changed rotors and they're fine.

Also we have two sets of used rotors with limited wear that will be available. One set are the Raybestos Advanced Technology slotted which have like 15k miles on them. The other set are NAPAs and have like 5K miles.

Also have a brand new in box set of Raybestos Advanced Tecnology brake pads for the GMT 400s.

Son will have a set of Timken GMT 400 bearing hubs with 45K miles on them.

Willing to deal on all of these.

Shot me a price on all. We are still running all of our 6.5's, so eventually we will need parts. Just put a new left front bearing on the K3500 and used the last 4 bolts I had.
