How do you know when the center bearing needs replacing on a Chevy Silverado?

One way that I experienced is that I felt a vibration on my suburban when I reached a certain speed, about 30 mph. Then again at 60 mph. Or thereabouts. Also, get under your Silverado and try moving the center bearing. If it has a considerable amount of play, time to change it. However, are you sure that it's the center bearing that needs replacing and is that why you're asking. Chevy center bearings last a long, long time.
