I have 120K on mine and they are as smooth as the day i bought the truck with over 50% pad left. The truck has towed over 60% of it's life. What say y'all????:dunno

Seems everywhere you look people are griping about warped rotors at 30-50K miles. I have never had that experience so i just wondered what experience some of y'all were having.................

if you are lookin at changing your rotors, go with POWER SLOT slotted rotors.

for a few bucks extra, you can get them cryo-treated. thats what i went with and you can't tell they have ever been used.

the second set of OEM rotors i had put on only lasted around 20k, they were terrible.

My rotors were warped bad at 35k. Pads were like new. I have the ARTs with their super duper pads now and love them.

I say you either drive like grandpa or you got the trailer brakes turned waaay up!!! On the other hand theres not much to brake for in Montana. j/k Bustin your chops mjstef :D :D :D

182K on the clock..............

Original rotors and calipers front and back.

Original pads in the rear.

One replacement set of pads up front.

FWIW...........every time I have felt warped rotors I rotated tires and retorqued the lugs. Always went away. :dunno
