What year truck ? How many miles on the truck ?

I got 165 K out of my Brake Pad.....And the truck was stopping SMOOTH....No Chattering at all.

So I just did a PAD SLAP. ....Just pads only and left the rotors alone.

I figured ,I got 165 K out of OEM Pads...and that’s what I put back in.

Just replaced all 4 on mine. (106k). Rear was down to 3/32 and needed it but fronts still had 9/32 left (over halflife left). Well I already went to trouble taking everything apart and cleaning it up, I put the new ones on I saved the old front ones for later. Used Federated Auto Silent Stop ceramics, had really good luck with them last ~20 yrs.

I second the silent stop ceramics, we've put hundreds of sets on at my shop with excellent results. No come-backs for squeals or grabbing when damp, ect.

Driving habits has more to do with wearing pads out than anything.


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

On my Ram we replaced the Rotors with slotted and the Pads with Ceramic and the Calipers with Dual Piston. I use it a lot in these WV hills pulling a loaded Horse Trailer. Never have had a problem with them. Got mine from E-Bay.


God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

A friend went to putting all new rotors on his lathe.
A percentage need trued.
Seems more of a crap shoot than brand specific.
He is fussy and his customers like that.
