about a year and half ago I contacted our member Sam Peterson about brakes--we had a little chat and I ordered front discpads and rear shoes for my 99 truck--I had worn out my front pads at what I thought was an extremely fast rate--anyway Sam told me that I would get at least 20k miles out of his pads--boy was he right--I just changed the front pads and got 25k out of them and probably could've gone another 1000 or 2---thank you Sam---chris
