Hey i was just woundering how many miles people got on there front disk brakes. "Ext. Cabs"

 

I generally get 80k miles or so out of a set of brakes. (we drive over 50k a year) Last month I put a set of hawk ceramic pads on the caddy. Did the proper bed-in proceedure and I must say that I'm very impressed. It's a great pad, no dust, and it stops better than the OEM pads from Cadillac. When the ranger goes.. this is what I'll be using for sure.

30-35k Running larger than stock tires. (265/75/16)

50k or so on rears. (mostly due to brake hardware failure)

Mostly city driving with a few spirited stops.

 

i got 65k on my stock brakes before i got new pads/shoes

 

first time i changed the brakes on my truck, i used cheap-o's from Napa....they lasted about 10,000 miles with 33's and they blew dust like a vacuum cleaner in reverse.......then i went to the stock Motorcraft pads, no dust been running a mixture of 33's and 35's and i am pushing 45,000 miles on them....i think i got about another 10,000 miles in them last time i checked a couple weeks ago...

 

i got maybe 20k out of my stock pads. brakes are like a once a year thing for me. lol

 

50,000 on the fronts. The backs are still OK but will need to be done soon...

 

just changed the pads at a little over 50k and the old pads were GONE

 

Do oem pads have wear indicators??? squealers??? I have 68k lot of high way miles.

 

Most of the time I put the tires on before I drive anywhere, truck doesnt turn well on the rotors.

I'm sorry, bad joke.....I never owned a car/truck long enough to go through a set of pads that I've installed on it.

 

15k in the front, im not easy on brakes and Im using the cheap autozone pads, hell they go bad take em back and they give u another set under warranty lol.

 

crap i need new brakes...lol

 

yes they do......IF your miles are mainly highway miles, then you probably still have almost new brakes.....
