Excessive brake dust?

Does anyone else experience this? My front brakes dust extremely excessively. As in, I clean my gloss black rims and 60 miles later they are that cooperish color again. Is it the factory pads that suck? Are there better aftermarket pads?

Mine shows brake dust more than previously owned superduty's, but less than my car. I wouldn't call it excessive, but I do notice it.

Yep I'm getting a lot of front dust too. I thought the pads might wear in a bit but still seeing it at 3.5k miles

I installed the PowerStop Z36 pads on mine, front and rear, and it helped not only feel better when towing but also reduced brake dust pretty dramatically. On top of that, they were really well priced!

Brake dust brea

I had quite a bit of brake dust for the first 2000 to 3000 miles but now it seems to have abated quite a bit. At 12,000 miles I barely notice brake dust.

I still get a boat load of dust, especially noticeable on my black wheels. I'll deal with it until they wear out because they do perform pretty dang well.

I experienced this when I first bought my pickup truck. I turned off traction control (I double click the button to put into “sport mode”) and that reduced the brake dust considerably.

I get it bad when towing. Adjusted up trailer brakes a little and it was too much so left the trailer brakes where I had them and been dealing with the brake dust.

I still get a lot of brake dust even after 26,000 miles. I do not like the new brake pad compound they are using compared to my last 4 SD's too much brake dust.

No big deal 100% normal. Not even close to what my German cars produce lol! My Ram 2500 before this truck and the GM's before all do it. Just get used to it because it is not going to change bottom line.

The answer is what I have on a couple of my cars but they are prohibitively expensive and for performance cars not HD trucks. NO DUST ever.

There's a lot of really awesome aftermarket pads that do not create this much dust, not even close. And they aren't expensive at all.

I am talking about ceramic rotors not pads... They are dustless pretty much. Aftermarket pads have been spotty in the past for me on trucks and jeeps..
