That thing has been a touch warm Glenn! I am currently running a set of Wagner’s, I think they are “extreme duty” or something with a silly label. I think powerstop makes drilled and slotted rotors for a little more performance/cooling

New motorcraft hubs are on the way. Any suggestions on a bearing, race and oil seal kit for the new hubs? Thanks

Glenn, I don't get on here much and I assume you already have these replaced. However, I have had very good luck with powerstop stuff. I pretty much order everything on the internet these days, so I wouldn't be able to tell you where to get them locally. As far as bearings, agree with above. Timken has treated me well.

Good to know about powerstop, thanks Todd.

I hate being an armchair warrior but I guess that's what forums are for--I'd inspect your wheel bearings, too. These trucks don't have good brake cooling at all and often times it can cook the grease in the bearings. Two grease seals and some patience is all it takes, especially if you're in there to replace the rotors! re pack those bearings!

Thanks Tom, I think I will just use the installed races.
I ordered new bearings, suppose to be here today.
