Start by putting the truck on jack stands. Also, open the brake master cylinder to relieve pressure in brake lines to remove/replace pads and calipers later. Remove the tire(s). Remove the caliper(s) via the 2 caliper pins/bolts on the back, and rest the caliper on something - don't let it hang by the brake line! With a flat head screw driver, remove the dust cap (half sphear lookin thing). Under that, you will find a nut with a retaining pin that are rather simple to remove. Be very careful with the retaining pins as far as bending them too much, unless you plan to replace them. At this point, you can pull the rotor straight towards you being very careful, once again, to not let the bearings fall out onto the ground. You don't want those dirty!! Take your old rotors to a shop or buy new ones and throw them on. When putting the calipers back on, use a caliper spreader to ensure they slide back over the new rotors easily. After replacing the rotors, calipers and tires bring the truck down and turn it on. While still in park, press the brake a few times to put pressure back in the lines. Top off your brake fluid as necessary and replace the master cylinder lid. Done!

You will need to remove the road wheel and then the bolts holding the brake caliper. The brake rotor can then be removed. Quite a simple job but you should take digitial pics of the brake pads and shim location position as it is easy to get these wrong when re-assembling. Suggest replacing the rotor and brake pads at the same time. I replaced the plain rotors with drilled / grooved ones to improve wet weather brake performance.
