My front brakes worked well, but made a horrible grinding noise. Weird thing was I could only hear it while going through the guard gate at work (winter time, it’s about the only time I have my window down). A couple times the guards would comment on it.
I’ve long been a fan of Hawk brakes. I had 2 sets of their LTS pads on my 1st gen. Great grip, pedal feel, good cold bite and don’t seem to dust.
Seeing how the truck has 95000 miles on it, I figured the front rotors were original so I also got a set of their Talon rotors. I’ve never used their rotors, I usually get blanks, but quality blanks were nearly as expensive as these.
Install went well. I figured the rotors would be rusted on but each came off without any whacks from the BFH.
Initially I wasn’t liking my pedal feel, it seemed really soft. But after doing my many slow downs and then a cool down drive, pedal feel is back to normal.
And since the weather was nice, I broke out the hose and really washed the wheels- inside and out.
