Looks nice. Do they stop better than the stock brakes?
So how did you get the calipers off? And the C-clamp is to open up the calipers (once off) to fit with the new pads / rotors, correct?grnTitan04 said:The main struggle was opening the caliper far enough to get it off the old rotor because of the rust and the groove that was worn in. Oh, and I didn't have a C-clamp large enough.
I'm onna git me soma does. Can't hurt when I'm pulling a trailer.grnTitan04 said:The cost was $325. Then it was around $5 for the orange goo and brake cleaner.
I have a few hundred miles on them now and they are still going strong. The feel is way better than factory, the grab is there as soon as you touch the pedal. They are nice and smooth, and the stopping power is uniform all the way from highway speed, there is literally almost no fade.
Yeah, isn't road salt fun? Off topic here but do you have a heated garage? If so, you will be better off storing the truck outside. The warm salt is more corrosive.grnTitan04 said:I got all the parts from TireRack. Make sure you click through the link on TT so that the forum gets the credit (increased sales is a sure path to getting what we ask for in the future). :upsidedow
Yeah, that rust is from 2 winters up North. Sad really. I spray the underside down every other month or so, as long as it seems like the water won't freeze, but this is still what happens up here. :crying:
