So, I am thinking about getting the Power Stop Brake Kit and the Russell brake line kit...

Does anyone have recommendations on someone/shop that would do a job like this?

I am not getting a very good vibe from some of the "Diesel" shops I have down this way, and with my foot out of commission, I am not up to doing it myself.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

David

These guys were recommended to me previously, however I have never used them.

North West Custom Diesel ? Tacoma, WA

Would you be up for an FTE install party or similar?

 

I am always up for an install party! I would supply the Pizza and soda (sorry, I don't drink alcohol).

But with my broken wing (surgery on the right foot) I am not going to be much help, so if we go the party route, it will have to be in a month or so.

I need to get to the point where I am moving around better, that and I need to order the parts

 

A month is good for me, I have flare wrenches, mityvac evacuator and brake bleeding adapter.

You would need, Loctite blue, preferred brake grease and a couple bottles of fluid.

Check out rockauto pricing as well, be sure to use the 5% code.

 

Awesome advice about Rock Auto, I always forget about them...

Lets see how I mend, then lets talk dates. Thank you for the offer!

 

I'm a little late here but I've heard that the drilled rotors on big trucks lead to cracking because it weakens them. Might not be the case but that's what I've heard around the forum. I was thinking about getting some dimpled rotors something like these Summit Racing® Ultimate Performance Brake Rotors SUM-AR-8571PS - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing

 

Thank you for the interest! I know that many folks over on the Excursion side have been running the Power Stop kit without any issues. I am hoping to have the same success they have had.

 

I have Powerslot Cryo treated rotors and Hawk LTS pads for the front with O'Reillys rotors and Hawk pads for the read and it is a very solid setup. Definitely recommended, especially one of the go to sets here.

The Powerstop kits have been increasing in popularity as well, haven't heard anything bad.

Drew- I would be concerned with who makes those dimpled rotors. IE where they are made more specifically. Powerslot I have is made by Centric which incorporates Stop Tech and Powerslot.

 

So, I got the parts for the brakes, and my new wheels and tires show up next week. So I am thinking that maybe we could do the brake party sometime after Friday the 18th. Anyone on board for a teardown and build up on my Excursion?

I will supply Pizza and sodas, but no Alcohol, as I don't drink.

Thanks!

 

I could be open for the 18th or 25th.

@Yahiko are you available?

 

Since those are "work days" I will have to see if I can take the time off. Let me see what I can do.

Thanks!

 

So, because of the nice weather, we are going to try and tackle the brakes tomorrow (Thursday 17). If anyone is interested in swinging by (south of Sumner) to get their hands dirty or to say hello, feel free to PM me for the address.

Thanks!
