Been searching but cant make up my mind.
Work van went down yesterday so I had to drive the truck. Noticed a slight pull, then some grinding on hard stops.
Time for pads and rotors.
Im running slotted rotors (cant remember who makes them or when I did them)and OEM pads now and have no complaints for 30000 or so miles.
Need to get these ordered ASAP or get them locally from NAPA or other local parts warehouse.
Any recommendations?
Tow HEAVY and ALL mountain driving.
Hawk LTS. Feels OEM around town but responds well to heat. If you do not mind squeaks, Hawk Superduty. Not a slotted rotor fan for this application; I want all the surface area and meat I can get on the brakes.
I have never used any extreme duty brakes so I cant recommend any. But if its pulling when you use the brakes you might need some caliper work. Try creasing the slide pins.
Ive had problems in the past with warping rotors on this truck until I went with slotted rotors and Steelership pads.
My current set up has survived two trailer brake failures in the mountains with my 12-13000lb Toy Hauler.
