Having to change front brake pads, with 270000 mi. Ive changed them more time than I can remember, I would like to hear some opinions on different pads, there is quite a price range on them at places like autozone, orielys and napa, from about 30 dollars to 90.00 dollars, I tow a lot and cant quite afford what it really needs, ( jake brake)  I just tore into it today because of a leaky caliper to find out it has a broken piston so this on my list to do.

might find this interesting.

 

Very nice, I'm tempted to pull my front pads off to look.

Cool, I wish I saw this before, I just replaced mine with OE pads from Orielys

Interesting... I'll have to take a look some time.

The best brake pads are good trailer brakes. If you tow, keep your trailer brakes up. I set mine to brake more than the truck would by itself.
