how do I know if I have 2 or 4 wheel abs? Once I know I need to change
my wheel bearing assembly and I need to make sure I get the right part.
Any tips or help.

Look for a wire coming off the hub, that would be the abs sensor wire. Is it
a 2000 F350? not clear in subject line. If yes, you should have 4-wheel ABS.
If you have auto hubs, you'll also have a vacuum line coming from the hub,
assuming you meant 2000 F350.

At the risk of sounding harsh, is replacing a hub a smart job for someone
who is "parts stupid" as you put it?

Yes it is a 2000 f350 manual hubs and unfortunately I just don't know
the parts/names etc. when I'm looking at them. However, I am very good
with tools and can do just about anything. I just need someone else to
tell me the fix. I appreciate your candor and normally I would agree
that someone making that comment should not be doing this.
Thanks

OK, you have manual hubs, so if you have ABS there should be a wire attached
to the steering knuckles. But IIRC all the Superduties had ABS, so I'm not
sure why a parts supplier would have a non-ABS hub.

Remember these are sealed unit hubs as opposed to standard spindle-type
hubs. I'm considering replacing mine with a spindle conversion kit.
