Bought truck the last week of 2003. Now at 12,050 miles, I can just detect the beginnings of brake "judder" (or whatever the new tech term for rotor warping).
History:
Two RX7s 81, 83 - no judder
74 & 76 Euro Capris - brake judder with occasional severe favoring of left over right (and vice versa) front calipers. What an adventure fighting that steering wheel!
90 T-Bird SC - 4 sets of new rotors over 110K miles!
93 Mark VIII - 2 sets of new rotors over 80K miles
94 Ram - didn't keep this sieve long enough to know.
95 Lightning - 120K miles with never a whimper from brakes. (performance designed brakes?)
93 Supra t-turbo - perfect.
98 BMW 3-series - once, rotors turned.
95 J30 - once, rotors turned.
86 944 stock - no problem.
Point: I don't think it is driving style. (And Ford may be getting the hang of it now.)IMO it's a combination of design, and wheel lug torque and tightening sequence.
