minimum brake tolernces

what is acceptible runout for rotors on a 00 4x4 and min rotor thickness. i cant see it on the rotor.

stops nice and strait just has that brake squeek thats bothering her. theres a small lip on the edge of the rotor thats what i think is causing the squeek. but if rotors are close to needed replacement i dont want to deal with that today. but if theres good meat left im just gonna scotch brite that lip off and call it good for a few more miles then just do a complete brake job on it. theres still the average of 15mm on all the pads. i think they had just gotten done before we bought it at 78k and its got 91k on it now. i just realized she is only driving it 13k a year......

THANK YOU.

noise is still there after rebeveling rotors guess its just the crappy pads in there. gonna just put new rotors on it. you have pad to reccomend? i was gonna use performance frictions. had the napa lifetimes on my 97 and they SUCK!! got performance frictions on now much much much better there like a full carbon pad. lots of brake dust is the thing i dont like but the truck gets washed every week. but little dust to stop i guess its worth it.

The Wagner MX pads do well, if you tow the Wagner SX pads are good. This is the only brand I try to use. The cheaper NAPA pads IMO are better than their lifetime.

I read on here somewhere that the factory pads are the best for our trucks. I find that hard to believe, but I need to put new pads on my mule, and I want to put on the best pad out there no matter the cost. Any opinions on the best pads?
