[QUOTE="OrioN, post: 3513945, member: 58562"] Thanks for chiming in... that's what I tried to convey if rotors are still in spec, no gouging from metal to metal contact, then they are still good to go, using either backyard mechanic plastic caliper or technician micrometer. [MEDIA=youtube]RlBr2fyqn9g[/MEDIA] The brakes are doing well! New pads, aftermarket or oem, are better than metal to metal. No sign of run out or wobble when pedal is applied. No more hearing the brake squeal from those tabs or brake wear indicators. Did you ever experienced what's left of a brake pad backing plate coming off the caliper cage? I did 2x due to subcontractor negligence only at the rear brake pads setup on gmc trucks I'm assuming this 3 year old truck has the original rotors from the start. At 97,000 miles they're finally due for new slabs of iron on the next brake service interval. OrioN: BC: OrioN: BC: OrioN: BC: <shrugs> I didn't have to jump in a dumb rental truck like I saw 2 other drivers did this morning. Having no pass thru to the cargo area sucks. One had engine trouble, guess he was never trained to do a pretrip... no oil on dipstick = blew the engine. The main point is to listen and address vehicle problems ASAP. I don't want to be in a rental truck when I already setup this FedEx branded boxtruck for my particular route. [/QUOTE]
