Rotors

What size front brake rotors on a early 99? Napa says they are either a 13,05 or a 14 inch??? Not able to measure at the moment.

Thanks

According to Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Slotted Rotors - Power Stop Brakes If you truck was built prior to 3/14/99, it takes a 95 mm rotor... (101 mm after 3/15/99) Not sure what they are measuring.. don't mention the diameter..
Great rotors.. i have had them for about 3 years now... look brand new.. no warpage, stop great.. using their ceramic pads also.. no dust..

for me personally I would only buy rotors and brake pads for a superduty from Motorcraft. The brake pads are specially designed and the rotors are terrific. Have you ever looked up why you should be using motorcraft pads and rotors and not autozone, napa or chinese. Quite the interesting write ups. So what if they are 40 or 50 bucks more each, it sure is worth it.

X2 I do not trust the quality of Chinese castings!!!!! A brake rotor is a very complex casting and I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY OR YOUR FAMILY AT THE MERCY OF INFERIOR CHINESE PARTS!!!!! BUY AMERICAN, BUY MOTORCRAFT! did I say that out loud any way that's my .02 reps to ya krazymann!

Just because the box says MOTORCRAFT on the outside does not mean it was made in America. Ford sources their parts just like every one else.

Motorcraft parts doesn't means anything - Lincolns OnLine Message Forum
As a state Licensed PE I have considerable experience in the casting field, and I know that the Motorcraft product is superior to the "Chinese" generic rotor as I have seen considerable core shift, core deformation and complete core failure, make it out of the foundry through the machine shop and right into the box for the consumer to deal with! quality control is not as important as volume of production, scary scenario when dealing with your families safety is'nt it? Ford has a quality control system in place with there suppliers that makes sure that the parts you get through them are up to the standards set by Ford and in some cases DOT for quality, do they have a occasional failure? of course, but not very often, and as I have said before and I'm sure I will say again....."GOOD PARTS ARE NEVER CHEAP...... AND CHEAP PARTS ARE NEVER GOOD!"...nuff said!

I hear what you are saying. It's understood that Motorcraft has certain specs that the parts are hopefully engineered to.

What I was trying to say is that there is no guarantee that the part is made in America, even if it says Motorcraft on the box.
