Front brake rotors
2001 F350 4X4 crew cab DRW 7.3
need to change brakes and rotors, I want to upgrade to drilled and slotted rotors. I have looked at new rotors online and have only been able to find rotors with the dually extension cast to the rotor, since my truck has a removable extension.
Can a rotor from a SRW rotor be used and extension but back on?

Powerstop Z36 are made for towing and they are drill (with beveled edges) and slotted and have great results/reviews.
I've got them on mine and love them.
I've been told a lot of things and many have been wrong.

I've seen pictures of drilled rotors with cracks radiating out from the holes. It does happen. A quick Google search shows plenty of these. Here's an article on it: Performance Brake Blog - Why Drilled Brake Rotors Crack | Cquence.net. The beveled edges should help.
EBC doesn't provide any cross drilled rotors: https://ebcbrakes.com/articles/dange...rilled-rotors/

Thanks for the info on the slotted/drilled rotors,will read this thoroughly before purchasing.
my real question is, will a SRW front disc brake rotor work on a dually truck with the OE bolt on extension.
I do not like the looks of the one piece rotor and extension

Are you sure the extension hub is cast with the rotor?
The rotors I got from Rock Auto included the hub assembly, but it wasn’t cast as part of the rotor. It is a two piece assembly, pressed together at the suppliers assembly plant, probably to control runout.

The two pieces are "snug fit", not press-fit. Put a chisel or similar at the joint and "persuade it" into the joint with the BFH. They should come apart fairly easily.
If yours are NOT like mine, well - then nevermind
