When I did my brakes I ordered Motorcraft pads from Rockauto.com. Had nothing but good luck with them so far

I'm still lookin for a set that have 'wear indicators' for my '01 PSD. Why don't ALL pads have these? With my driving stile, I eat front pads about every 20K.

Must be that the pad mfgr's are in cahoots with rotor mfgr's -do ya think??

GM (cough, cough) has them on all thier vehicles.

My '93 ate front brakes. When I upgraded to better pads, all it did was go through rotors faster. Put me down in the "Motorcraft" column. One thing I did find on the truck- if you forget to lube the sliders the pads won't release completely and have to be replaced in about 5-8,000 miles.

Well the Dealer one do last better but I didn't get the pads or anything else on as I have had a company truck again.

I may take em back and get Motorcrafts

I like the ones that stop my trucks(s), anything less brings the suck in SO many ways...

Figures...

Yeah, found that out (unfortunately) after throwin' on the very first set, and I think the dust boots gotta a design flaw in that they won't stay put. This is all peanuts however to the idiotic integrated bearing/hub design of this vintage. I just replaced both of mine a few months back at $375 a pop.

Which reminds me; has anybody started a "Ford Engineers I'd Like To Shoot" thread yet?

Yeah...I got a buddy who's a GM guy. When them things start making noise he has to take the brakes off, and break off the wear strip so he can get more miles out of 'em. It's like doing a whole brake job twice for every set of pads he goes through.

(His Jimmy also hasn't had functioning rear brakes for the last 40k miles... I suppose the combination of the above two things, may explain the foot massage you get at every stop sign in his car... )
