Well, have had my truck now for almost a month, and the brakes had about 10k on them when I got it. Now, after my 1400 mile road trip and driving 2. 5 hours in LA rush hour traffic (ala, 30 miles in that 2. 5 hours), my brakes are going nuts. I haven't as of yet actually visually inspected them, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be needing new ones. Three questions...



1. Which pads? In the past on other rigs, I've only used Raysbestos (sp?) cause that's what everyone says is the best... this hold true for our trucks?



2. Is this a "garage" type job? I'm at school, with access to only my standard tools (wrenches, sockets), and possibly a full Snap-On tool chest to work with (friends setup). I really don't want to pay somebody else to do something that I've done countless times before to Chubby's and Drof's, but never to a Dodge. It just as easy on them?



3. What should I look to pay for the pads? Don't want to get bent-over by Shuck's or somewhere like that.



Thanks, Josh.
 
Carbomet pads from TDR brake guru Sam Peterson are the best. His number is. . (360)357-4958... . 8:30 to 5:30 Pacific time. He has the best deal , includes new pins, lube and free shipping, $43 for all four. Pad replacement on these rigs is very easy, the only uncommon tool you might need is a 3/8" allen head socket. Open the bleed screw while spreading the pads, forcing them can damage the master cylinder.
