1.5748" inside diameter is for a diesel, 1.378" ID is for a gasser. It didn't make any difference if I specified diesel, 1 ton, whatever, I couldn't get AutoZone or NAPA to give me the right part online. Calling would do no good around these parts
Don't make my mistake

I got the correct one the last time I changed mine in the fall of '10. Carquest number B-HB99107A. I googled it and got 2 hits off chevy forums about the wrong size. There is another number they used, HB88508A for the 1.57 bearing.
I added this info and numbers to help anybody in the future, if the search works.
