I wonder if they make one of these for the new F-150's? It would suck to have to put it on in the first place, but maybe it would help. Of course it might also help heat up your brakes too...since they would have as much airflow to the rotor, or so I would think anyway. http://www.premiermotoring.net/cgi-b...eenwheels.html

Yep Brake Dust is a Big Problem
In doing all the truck test a couple of months ago, I tested several of the F150 Screws. One of the test was done on my son-in-laws FX4 Screw 4x4 with LSD. The front wheels were covered black in dust. He washes the truck every week and drives about 700 miles per week. He currently has 9,000 miles on the truck, the dust problem does not get better.
He said there is a dust eliminator or protector that can be purchased and placed behind the wheel. Basically a thin metal disk between the wheel and the rotor. Who knows if it really works. I don't think he will spend the money for it though.
The Ford F150 is most likely the best truck out there now. What is better is the fierce competition. I figure they have only about another three year run until the next major round of significantly new pick ups arrive. There is always room for improvment.
