The last brake pad thread is about 5 years old.......

I am at 50k on my 2012 SD, planning to do brakes soon.
I am happy with the factory pads, what is everybody using as replacement?

 

Have not done brakes on my 2015 yet. But when I replaced on my 2004 F250, I first used premium pads from Raybestos and was not happy with how they felt. Took them off and bought pads from Ford and felt like new again. I don'the know who makes them for Ford. If your looking for more stopping power, a friend changed all his over to EBC brakes, but you have to use their rotors, very expensive.

 

I used premium pads on my 2012 from advanced auto parts. Sign up for speed perks log in get your parts. Parts total over 50 use code trt30 to save 30% or if you spend a 100 use code trt41 for 40 dollars off. They also give lifetime warranty on their pads.

 

I been using those codes forever... sometimes I feel like I'm getting so much for $$$FREE ! lol

 

Motorcraft pads

 

What Don said.

 

I just installed a set of these I was very impressed by the quality. And cheap enough too...

 

Makes it nice to save good money on good parts for sure

 

Great break pads for sure

 

The factory pads are made by Federal-Mogul and the formula is contract restricted to the OE, blue box assembly line parts. You have to go out of your way to get the Counterman to sell these.

The Motorcraft Red Box parts are also made by Federal-Mogul, but are a different formula, backing plate and noise insulator and are carried as the "aftermarket" replacement line at a lower price point.

 

Ford severe duty or ambulance pad has been the only one that hasn't worn prematurely.

 

I use hawk pads on my 00 and LOVE them. I use hawk pads on my commuter card and they are so much better than anything else I have used.

 

changed MY 2003 S.D. brake pads "just because" at 100K,now on those replacements at 160K...Ford superduty pads have proven themselves to Me. good luck...David
