2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Front brakes

[DVolk]

I bought a 1999 24 valve 4x4
I ordered drilled and slotted rotors and pads off of E bay
And calipers only thing that seems like it fits is the pads
According to E bays fit mit ment the rotors fit both
2500 and 3500 and the rotors fit loosely but I believe may tighten up once the wheels are on
However the calipers don't fit over the rotors stock or the E bay rotors , anyone have any ideas ?

Buying parts like these off of Ebay is a quarter flip. Drilled rotors don't give you that performance that you think. Just plain stock rotors work just fine. A better brake pad can make a huge difference. I am using ProStop pads on mine, with stock rotors. Rotors list as same from RockAuto, but it looks like the pads are different between 2500/3500. As are the calipers. Two different weight classes, hence the difference in pads and rotors. You could've gotten "drilled and slotted" rotors from RA as a kit and I bet that they would've fit! Did you even check with RA? Have been using them for around 20yrs and only had 1 issue with a part listing, which they handled with no issues. Don't get caught up with the "low" prices on Ebay. Was it worth it now?

To Topzide's point, I went the Rock Auto route replacing brake lines, rotors, calipers, etc., everything except the ABS module and master cylinder. I try whenever possible to stick with Centric Brake parts. The parts I received were very good quality and are working well. Not saying eBay is a bad place for parts as I get a lot of parts off of eBay but when it comes to my truck, I want to make sure I am getting good quality, genuine parts. In my experience, Rock Auto's prices have been very competitive if not better.

I NEVER buy a part online unless I know the manufacturer’s part number that fits the vehicle AND it’s posted with that part number and the manufacturer as the brand.

Even Rockauto lists two different sets of parts for the 2500 depending in the weight rating of the front axle.

My dad’s 94 SRW 2wd 2500 Cummins came with the pads from a 2500 gasser.
