Brakes @ 17,000 miles?
Hey guys
I just rolled over 17,000 miles (27,000kms) on my truck and my brakes seem to need to be replaced. This seems very premature.
They are squeeling up front when I hit the brakes and the pedal kinda drops down further after about 2-3 seconds... I can definatly tell a big difference in stopping power.
I'm really surprised they wore out this quick. When did yours wear out?

My front rotors de-laminated at 37k miles. The pads were still at least 50% but the stupid rotors were falling apart.
I replaced them with a set of cyro-treated powerslots and hawk SUV pads (tirerack). I must say.. braking now is incredible. Simply incredible as compaired to when the truck was new.

At 38,000 I replaced my original pads and rotors. Went with new Raybestos rotors and Wagner Thermo-quiet's. I don't drive aggressively and have hauled loads and trailers with my truck. I would think that 17,000 sounds too short. I'm pretty sure there have been threads like this one, and from what I remember it seemed like the average interval (for front brakes) was around 35,000.

If Mazda pulled the same thing Ford did you're right where you should be. My brakes have squealed since day one. The dealership has given me multiple stories but the only consistant one is that the brakes are a new style made of metal. They squeak but produce less brake dust. You can have them replaced with the old style brakes or just deal with it like I do. There's a **** in my dash that if I turn it to the right it makes the brake squeal go away. I think it's labeled volume.....

On my 2004, the brakes were done at around 30,000km. But I did a lot of "stop-and-go" driving with that truck. I also had to replace the rear brakes at 60,000km, they had completely seized and the pads fell apart.
So far on my 2007, I am at 50,000km on the original brakes but I think they are due soon. I don't do nearly as much stop-and-go driving since I bought this truck so I'm sure that's why the brakes have lasted so long.

Sounds right, or else this heavy *** BFG's have taken their toll on my brakes.
Braking power does feel diminished.
Ill get them looked at in a few weeks.
