Would someone care to expound on the topic of cross-drilled brake
> rotors? I need new rotors for my '94 F-150, and I need to know whether
this "upgrade" is a good idea. This is a work truck that does occasional
towing. I've heard that drilled rotors cool faster and therefore last
longer with less warpage. I've also heard that the holes weaken the disc
and cause it to warp more easily. Has anyone had direct experience with
these things?

This came up in the past, I believe the result of these conversations was
that for off roading cross drilling is not good. The reason I believe was
that dirt will get caught in the holes and tear up pads and rotors.

Paul,
I am researching this myself. I have found from my searching that the cross-drilled rotors are not good for our heavy trucks. The best I have heard about is the slotted/vented thpe rotors. I have found them available for our trucks through Powerslot for $98.99 each, not including shipping. Let me know if you want the part numbers and contact address.
Later

Wayne,
This really doesn't pertain to cross drilled or slotted rotors, but I do
have a qeustion pertaining to brakes, my 96 F150's front brakes emit a high
pitch sqeel all of the time. They stop making the noise when I start to
apply the brakes. The pads and rotors look good. are there any suggenstions
to make this very iritating noise go away???
