2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission What year did the rotor/hub system change?

[Bug Out]

A few weeks ago, I researched front brake rotor removal etc. (I have a 2000-4x4)



I was planning on getting drilled rotors. I got the *&*%&^$# scared out of me when I heard

"axles have to come out, bearings might fall apart, hub assemblies 300$, pullers etc" then you can get to the rotor.



I thought aw heck, I'll wait till they fall off first.



My brother in law's 96 CTD 4x4 is getting the rotors changed and I saw the first hand nightmare it was.



So i pulled off my tires to rotate for the first time since I bought the 2000 and was delighted to see the rotor comes off the hub and the hub stays on.



I wish i would have known this or read it in a post.



Anyhow, the crossed drilled rotors are now on order and I'll be stopping much better soon.



Oo. Oo. Oo. Oo.

Dave Fritz has the "new for 2000" features on his great site, including the front rotor details.
