Which brake pads to get?
I want something that will last. Factory ones lasted 8500. Need something that will last. Bendix are offered here, never ran them before. Suggestions?
BTW for the front of a 05 4x4 crew cab.

My stockers too were replaced at hte 60-70k mark. I have Hawk HPS pads now. They dust like a fother mucker.
Bendix is a good company, as is any other OE replacement you can get at Autozone or Pepboys.
It all depends on your goals, I like the stock ones, but for a step up in braking performance with less fade the Hawk's seem to do the trick for me.

My last truck had Hawks on it and they were the best brake pads I've ever owned. I didn't seem to have any dust problems with mine though.
Going back to Hawk once my stocks now wear down.

No I mean 8500. I ve made 2 trips to the mountains pulling 4 atvs. A few of the hills, I could smell the brakes getting hot. I m assuming thats what did them in. Thinking bout going with slotted rotors too. Wheres a good place to get Hawk brake pads?

I really like the brake set-up I have, got it from a company called Praise Dyno. (praisedynobrake.com). I bought their front and rear cyogenically treated pads and slotted rotors and they have performed flawlessly for almost 10K so far. The truck stops on a dime with no noise and very little dust. They shipped the whole setup from their shop in Texas to my door in New Jersey and I had them in less than a week
