Edit: After getting this all together, and getting the front end aligned, I was on my way up the Kern Canyon to Mom and Pop's for Thanksgiving when a horrible noise developed. It was speed-sensitive, but I could not find anything loose, it was loud, though. I turned around and drove back home. It turned out the left front lug nuts had loosened-up, allowing the wheel to flop around. Could not feel it in the steering wheel, nor did the truck bounce, but the noise was very loud. My guess is that I may have applied too much paint to the rotors mating surfaces, and driving the truck caused the paint to wear down enough for the lug nuts to loosen. I know they were tight before I left. But it was another learning lesson for me. Nothing was damaged, and there hasn't been any issues since then.
