rear rotors??
I was told by the mechanic at the dealer that i needed new rear rotors, due to a rotational noise i have after they replaced the rear axle seal. Said I never heard it because it was packed full of grease. Now that the seal is fixed and rotor is clean, its making a new noise that disappears when i apply the brake. They assured me it was not a wheel bearing as i suspected.
they want $80 a rotor and hour shop time to replace.
I called NAPA...they have them in stock. But they needed to know if i had 12 0r 14mm wheel studs. What are they asking for? just the length? can this be determined thru vin or something or do i have to take the wheel off measure the length and put wheel back on and goto NAPA???
Thanks in advance...

The rotors on this truck are expensive all around, so I do not doubt that that is a fair price for them....I'm not 100% where the difference is in the wheel stud sizes, but I am one to assume it's the trucks that come factory with bigger wheels/engines (lightnings/harleys) My is a run of the mill 01 v6 5 spd it has the 12mm studs. the rotors were abouts $70 a piece for the rears at AZ

I am 95% sure you have 14mm, since you have rear discs which were only on trucks from '99 which is the same year they went to 14mm studs, but I have seen some disagreement of when in '99 they switched. 14mm is the diameter BTW. So if you have a '00 or newer I guarantee they are 14mm.
