Second ring to fail (both on front left).

I'm surprised to see this is not a recall since a broken ring kills the ABS functionality.

It's not a crazy hard DIY repair... check that you have the wrench/socket need to remove the axle bolt (loosen while truck is on the ground), and a wire wheel to remove the rust off the axle (where the ring slides onto) and before installing the new ($6.01) tone ring.

NOTE: Heating the ring slightly makes sliding it on crazy easy (probably won't have to hammer it into position - but if you do use the old ring to position the new one!!).
