New rotors needed??
Yesterday: Thought the truck was pulling to the right when breaking but didnt hear anything so figured it was just me
Today: 30 min ride to work, by the last 10 min it sounds like metal on metal (from front left) and pulling hard to the right. Pads are about 5k miles old.
Does this sound like pads and rotors are needed? Is 5k normal wear time?

If so is the Cryo Powerslot rotors in combination with Hawk Pads a good idea? Got this info from Guzzle's 7.3 page here.

No, didn't know I should. Is this a good thing? Can I just fix that and keep going with everything I have? That would be awesome...

Yep, Ford has the new style pins. That's where I got mine when I did my brake job.

I don't know the difference with the chain parts store pins but if you are in a pinch, they sell them pretty cheap (like $5 for a set). Another member and I snapped the head off a rear slide pin and we were able to pick up a set - it was late on a Sunday and Ford parts counter was closed.

Like Pep Boys? That would be great as they are right next door.
