it stops very well. plus I have slotted and drilled rotors... so....

but I drive it every day, and get so damn tired of wiping off the wheels every other day... looks like I'll be trying the ones t-wrench suggested... unless someone else has something proven...

 

I have hawk pads and I dont get very much dust at all, I wonder why the difference?

 

Anyone tried Bendix, ive got them and dont seem to get too dirty..

 

Nothing is wrong, really, with the OEM pads. Most newer trucks have the AC Delco part# 89059119 ceramic pads on them. Ceramic is our friend when it comes to not producing dust.

 

Hawk's suck IMO.......bad dusty bastards!! The biggest diffrence between aftermarket and OEM pads is the price. The OEM's are a bit pricey. The Ac Delco pads on the stockers retail at $135.00.....****! But I do have people that insist on them and pay that price for pads. Not me! I use the ceramic Car Quest Reybestos brand.

 

i hated my hawks...they lasted less than 200 miles on my truck before i took them back to the part house and gave them back.

get the ac delco ceramic pads. no dust and they stop just the same. make sure you say ceramic or they will sell you the cheaper pads that dust just like the hawks do.

 

I dunno about the rest of you but $135 for a set of pads that lasts 70,000+ miles doesn't seem like a bad deal to me...

 

i think i got my OEM parts for 50 bux...see if there is a delco retailer around you. the dealership will rape you every chance they get.

 

I have had mine for about a year... I'm just not liking them... I'll be getting some ceramic pads next chance I get I guess... especially if they stop the same. I'm just tired of my truck looking like it just ran the 24hrs of LeMans

 

I regularly see trucks with well over 100,000 on the factory brake pads. one guy with 140,000(must drive like a grandma). And fwiw the ACDelco pads are not the same as the gm pads on the 05 newer trucks. The gm one's are gm only.
