Wheel berrings sealed?

Does a 2003 Silverado have sealed wheel berrings or do they need to be greased? Had my wheel off but could not really tell just by looking at it??? Thanks!

Your bearings are sealed within the hub making it one piece all together. I just got done replacing mine about a month ago at the cost of a few hundred $$$'s. Just because the bearings became, unsealed.

From under the truck you can look at the back of your hubs, if there's a cover plate there, you're good. The cover actually says, do not remove.
