Any wheel bearing/front end issues?

I have heard a lot about the early '00 Dodges having problems with the wheel bearings a lot, do the '06-newer trucks have these same problems?

Other than the death wobble, have there been any other major issues with the front ends of these trucks?

I haven't really heard of wheel bearing issues just bad ball joints, that could last 5,000 miles or 200,000 miles, but usually seem to last less then 70k. Other then that the front end is pretty good, and if you get good replacements you never need to worry about ball joints again.

The biggest issue is they dont use greasable front end parts or ujoints so they will dry up and wear out
