New brake steup
Hey everyone,
I have a 02 F350 long bed crew cab truck and its time for new brakes on this thing. I personally have never replaced the brakes on this truck, so I dont know what it has now.
I've heard great things about applied technology's rotors, but i've also seen where power slot has also come out with a cryogenically frozen rotor which looks very similar to ART's design. I tow on occasion so i would like the best for my truck can somone give some opinions on either brand of rotor?
Also what would be the best brake pad for this truck? On my ranger i've used bendix fleet grade and absolutely love them, does anyone know if bendix makes a pair for the 350's?

IMO...both Power Slot and ART's rotors are high quality. So which ever might have the better price is the way to go.
Yes, Bendix does make brake pads for the SD line. I have also heard that Satisfied Brake Performance makes GREAT pads too. They have the Fleet line also, but I am more partial to the Pro Ceramic myself.

Bendix CT-3 Ceramic and Fleet MetLok...are high quality too. You cannot go wrong with either...IMO.

I bought rear rotors from POWER SLOT, had them cryo'd and ended up having Ford replace a bad caliper.
I am going to do the front soon and buy S/S brake lines

99bajakid,
I am a user and believer and because of that a reseller of the Powerslot rotors and Hawk pads. I was given a set by the factory to see if it would cure my brake ails on my SD, with the stipulation that if it did we had to stock and sell their products. The products did, we do, and we are very glad they twisted my are to stock them. Best value out there, and you might consider the non cyro rotors, unless you are a VERY VERY hard brake user the standard ones do fine. Call us for questions, and we have the best prices going as well!

Hmm thank you for that Mark.
Im not hard on my brakes by any means, i usually drive like a grandma due to gas prices, and the sheer size of my truck, thus gradual stopping. I do however tow a fairly heavy load on occasion through mountains so I figured the cyro rotors would be a safe bet. Im all for saving money though, thank you for your honesty. I will definitely be placing an order when pay day hits
