Perhaps the rear pads are worn, so I went and removed the calipers. They still had 80% of the pad life. Checked the sensor and notice that it was a URO sensor, so I decided to keep the pads, but replace the sensor. Put everything back together and the minute I started the truck, there wasn't a "Check Pad" light on. Moral of this repair, don't buy cheap parts, not unless you intend to flip the X.
Yes this is a well known strategy when it comes to parts replacement. Stick to the good stuff. Most URO parts are junk anyway.
