Front Brake Pad Recommendations
Just want to know if anyone has any recommendations on Front Bake pads for an 06' F250 PSD Crew Cab ? I have the worst luck in choosing pads to last for ANY vehicle I own. Should I stick with Motorcraft SD pads? This is a new vehicle to me, so I have no history to go on with previous brake pad replacement.Thanks

I run the HAWK Ferro-Carbon front & rear as we tow our 37 footer a lot.

Hey Tim, I agree with everything you say except the dust. My stock pads makes my mags look red in about 500 miles.

I think the premium pads are an upgrade to the stock pads Mike. I get absolutely NO dust with mine and I have the KR gold wheels. I know it's not because I'm easy on brakes--LOL.

Do you know if the premium pads are ceramic?

I don't think so, at least not the ones I got. They were installed Jan. 08 and I don't know if the ceramic's have been out that long for our trucks.

I have to agree with npccpartsman's recommendation, I have 115K on my original motorcraft pads and still have over 5/16 pad left. Never had a dust issue, the only issue I have had is a slight squeal after my truck sits for a week or so until the surface rust is gone, then so is the squeal.
