Brake Pads

[khpony]

I'm new to this forum but have been lurking for a while. I recently retired and bought a '98 Expy EB and have been doing some minor repairs on it to get it in top shape. This is my 4th Expy starting with a 99, then a 04, then a 08 and now full circle back to a 98. I've had nothing but good success with the expeditions. I need to replace the brake pads and was curious what pads most are using? Mine is used primiarily for town driving but we go to Colorado to the mountains 2 or 3 times a year. Thanks and this is a great forum.

First off thanks for coming out of the closet welcome to the family...second my personal experience has been ceramic pads....I bought the Auto Zone Gold lifetime warranty ceramics for front and rear...they stop great wet, cold or dry and NO brake dust...my 2 cents..

I have whatever just brakes put on the truck a week after I got it... they suck brake dust all the time. I am going to upgrade rotors to drilled and slotted as well as pads once I get my 35s on.
BTW great choice on the 98, They are my favorite year. The TRUE 1st gens! Whoot! whoot! I love my 97 to death and I loved my dad's 98, the second gens are really a different truck to me. (I think 1st gens should be jacked up 4wds, and 2nd gens should be 2wds on 22s & up lol)
