Well I am pissed, I pulled off the front wheels and tires today and looked at the brakes. The pads were gone after 15000 miles. Nissan has a huge problem with the 04-05 brakes and I have already had the update to the brake fix due to Brake Judder. But those have now worn completely out.
So that means the replacement brakes suck too.
Lucky for me at our last Titan gathering I won a full set of 06 brakes (calipers, pads and rotors) So I jacked up the Titan and went to town replacing my 04 brakes with 06 brakes. I must say the 06 calipers and rotors are HUGE compared to the 04 parts. So I bled the brakes with the help of my girlfriend. I then went to put the wheels and tires back on and that is when the fun began.
06 Titans dont have 17" wheels and now I know why..............They dont fit! So I couldnt clear the calipers. But I couldnt put back the originals as the pads were completely gone. So now I am calling every parts store in Detroit looking for pads and rotors for an 04 Titan. I finally find the only set in town at Auto Zone and run 30 miles away to get them. I bring them home and now have to pull the 06 calipers and rotors back off. Good Times!!!!
I go to pull the rotors out from Autozone and lucky me Murphy's law is in full effect! The new rotors are like my original 04's with the lopsided rotor thickness (inside is thinner than the outside) So I now have a set of original 04 brakes that are bound to have Brake Judder in 7000 miles.
Oh well what do you do on a Sunday. Just break the Titan down again for another brake fix.
MY LIFE SUCKS!
