Replaced drivers side hub and rotor with new 2-piece Centric units. One down other will be delivered Friday. The tone ring was split on the original oem causing my abs to go nuts. Hate to replace perfectly good originals but no choice here. I decided to go the separate 2-piece route which will make it easier to service them separately.
Finished the passenger side yesterday. Brakes are smooth as butter and no pulsing. Attached a pic of the broken tone ring on the old drivers side.

Took the window switch apart, cleaned it, and now my window goes up and down. Love it! Was gonna replace them with 70$ amazon ones, now I'll buy beer instead.
Finally got around to painting my emblems. Originally I was going to paint them just black and white but being my truck is two-tone Oxford white and Arizona beige I wanted to try something different. So I decided to paint the smaller outer ring beige to two-tone them or triple tone them to match my color scheme. I don't think I've seen any like this.
The Chrome one is for my front Harley Davidson grille. I wanted the chrome outer and tiny inner ring to match and flow with the chrome bars on the grille. The black one is for the tailgate.
My front wheel bearing went bad. Got the 2 piece centric brakes, but couldn't find a replacement in time. Noise was getting bad. So I just went down to the local Autozone and picked up a hub assembly just for now until I get new bearings in the centric. These lasted me 3 years. Not sure if that is a good thing or bad, but oh well.
Then changed my battery and started having idling issues. Engine light went on and I used my ODB2 reader and got the P0501. Cleaned my Throttle body and she is good as new. Hectic 3 days..lol!!!
At 145k my 06 F150 officially got to retire today from its glorious title of the daily driver. Picked up a 2015 WRX to do the commute now. Didn't let the stealership take the truck though, they tried and when they gave me their offer I told them to pound sand. So now she gets to relax in the driveway and go out for the occasional walk just like an old dog. Its always a good feeling when you can look at a vehicle and honestly say that you got your money out of it and it owes you nothing.
