well folks, was driving along today and all of a sudden, heard a pop followed by a persistent grinding which was then followed by my ABS light coming on. I got it up on my lift and checked it out and low and behold....ADIOS wheel bearing hub, and all. New hub with sensor cost: 286 friggin dollars. You all believe that? I guess I cant complain though, its the only problem I've had with it after 2 years, besides having a couple dash lights out. Just thought I'd let everyone share in my financial woes:p

I could have, but the price was about the same, so I just figured it would be better to have both hubs match
