7.3 front rotors

just curious, but when have you all had to change your front rotors (miles). my truck was stoppin fine and about 2 weeks ago i towed a heavy trailor around for a few days. since then it seems my fronts are shuddering when stopping. i bought my truck with 90,000 and now it has 110,000.

Finally changed mine out to PowerSlots at 143k, although it should have been done at 70k. Been driving with the shudder for way too long. Truck never stopped better and no shudder at all. Even got rid of the dreaded 40-45mph vibration that so many seem to have. Warped rotors seem to be superduty thing and turning them down with last about as long as it takes to heat them up again.

115k on mine when I changed them. Went to Power Slot cryo rotors and Hawk pads. 10k since no problems and stops better than it ever did.
