dont get the cheap ones at the auto parts store. i made that mistake and i have alot of dust and noise. stay away from the ceramic pads they are too hard and will wear on the rotors.

I agree with bluemoose89. Not only will you get what you pay for, but, if the pads are out of tolerance even a little, your truck will pull one way or the other.

It's made many folks pull out their hair or turn to strong drink when that happens.

Thanks guys but I need some names or types. I'm glad you told me about the ceramic pads. I was think about them but just didn't know. That's why I put in this post.

I just some perfermance friction "z" rated pads and I like them and best of all no noise at all. I got them at www.nationalfleetparts.com there abit pricey but not as pricey as I have seen other pads.
