Brake Pads
I have 50k on my 03 cclb. Had the rear calipers and one rotor replaced a few weeks ago. The left rear caliper apparently had been dragging for a while and by the time I knew this, pad worn out and the rotor to far gone to turn. The other side was OK, so they turned that rotor and put on two rebuilt calipers with new pads.
My question is, the fronts have about 20-30 percent left. These I will change myself but what pad materials seems to work best. Do tow a 30 ' fifth wheel, so like to have good brakes!!

Go to a different NAPA dealer. I have a few around me and some are good and helpful and some are mean and grouchy.
Here is a link for F250 pads that NAPA sells. I baught the AE metallics and have been very happy. They have little dust.
4th pad listed is Ceramix

I have an F250 with 77,000. I have had the cheap stuff, the quiet pads, I now have the NAPA Cermic pads. Love them, no dust on the rims. I do notice they seem to feel soft when cold. Just a feeling, truck still stops.
