BRAKES--nissan calls them part #40206-ZC01A, i call them AWESOME!

I be able to tell ya if he's pulling our crank about the red calipers in a couple of hours. :jester: Mine is in right now for the final fix.

My brakes were ok, I guess. Stopped fine, but really mushy sometimes. If there was any judder it was very minor. Can't tell if it was just starting to develop (13,479 miles) or if it was mental from reading about it so much. But having a early 04 build, I was due.
I explained to the service manager (not the service desk guy) that I had a long 3k mile trip coming at the end of July and didn't want the full blown judder during the trip. He put me on the list and about 3 week later I am in being fixed. Not all Titan owners even know about this fix. My neighbor don't or didn't. He got the temp fix.
Not all dealerships are even doing the fix when they have the parts sitting in the parts room. My service manager said he got 2 kits from a Nissan dealer about 45 minutes away cause they didn't feel like they needed them that bad, they still do the old fix, a couple of times.
He knows I buy and/or lease alot of cars from him over the years (3 trucks, 4 SUVs, and a Maxima) and he knows I know alot about the trucks and cars I get from them, so he does not try to float to much BS past me. He knows I stay informed about the truck. Thanks to you guys here!!!!!
I wonder how many people would be getting the final brake fix if they didn't surf Nissan or Titan sites?

By the way, since they are kinda doing me a favor getting me done before any big problems I didn't ask for a rental or loaner. I just had the courtesy van drop me off at the rental car company and I rented a 05 Pathfinder for the day. On my own dime. Now I can test drive a new Pathy all day and let the GF know what to get when she turns in her Xterra lease soon.

Just curious what type of camera you used to take those pictures. Very high quality.

Well they just called at 11:30. They had the truck since 8am. Thats faster than the "all day" they said earlier. Hope they did everything they said they would. Gonna go get the truck now.

EDIT: Home now. Brakes done. Improvement, but they spilled brake fluid from the reservoir down to the inside of the wheel. Rinsed it all down. Nice mess they left.

Had mine done about two weeks ago. There are great. Pedal feels better. Stops quicker and the brake dust is at a minimum now. Just made a trip to South Carolina with the Titan and everything was great. The brake dust was hardly noticable after the trip. Wish I could have had them put on sooner.

Just got the brake fix about a week and a half ago and let me say much better all around. I just got back from a 900 mile trip towing about a 3000 lb trailer plus about 500 lbs in the bed and they stopped great from an average speed of 75-80 mph. I also have almost no brake dust after nearly 200 miles from the trip without a wash. My dealer here said they are giving everyone the new fix now, but are waiting to see just how well they hold up.
