This was kind of annoying…
I had to do the hub seals and rear brakes on the driver side of my 1998 K2500 today. Ordered the shoes and GM hub seal from rock auto earlier in the week. After I ordered everything I realized I had a leak on the passenger side seal as well. I just decided to pick one up from Autozone because I didn’t have time for an online delivery or to get over to the local dealer. Any more I only use the 2001+ HD truck seals and they do a good job even on the older style 14 bolt FF hubs. This is what I found when I unboxed everything this afternoon. I paid almost $20 more for the GM seal. I’ve always used the GM seals in applications like this where it’s a pain in the butt to have a sup par part fail.
The pictures didnt upload as clear as they are on my phone, they are the identical seal, same part number and marking on them both and everything.

Re: This was kind of annoying…
That is just the way things are and have been for some time now. Unfortunately in most all cases. American made just means you are lining a greedy American company's pockets. The Camaro GM fuel pump I purchased for my LSA swap said made in Korea right on the part. Really sucks as buying repair parts is a crapshoot. Not that all foreign parts are bad. Sucks that all I get for American made is a higher price, sticker on the box and typically a lesser warranty.
