so i switched to my summer wheels/tires last week and stupidly did not look at the pads when doing so. 3 days later i started hearing squeeling/ very light grinding. so i got on rock auto ordered myself some HD pads and parked the expy till they came in.
today after work i pulled her in the garage and set to replacing the pads..hoping and praying the rotors were ok. turns out they all are but it was very close! i think another 20 miles and i woulda been buying 2 rotors. thank god i have so many trucks so in a case like this i can park it and wait for the parts to come in.
now i got the truck in 2010 with 63k miles on it, i'm almost at 83k miles and i have not touched the brakes untill today. considering how hard/fast i drive and agressive braking i do i'm very pleased with that. no idea how long before i got the truck the pads had been changed. although it did have alot of new stuff (shocks, tires..more i'm forgetting)
the old pads...wasted!
wiped the truck down, its still not real clean but tryed to clean the chrome and wheels up. then went for a test drive since it was a beautiful night!
