going to change front brakes on wifes 01 D. will need to turn rotors. anything special that i need to do or will it be like changing on any other 2wd vehicle.

 

Same thing.



Although, I would recommend the cross-drilled/slotted rotor/pads from Summitracing for 200 if you could afford it. 100x better stopping, definately needed in these big hunkers.

 

Hey Kota, can you post a link from summitt for those pads and rotors?

 

i would not have them turned spend the money and do it right, replace them with a good set of rotors(yes i speak from experience of working on my dads truck and he decided to be chaep and had to come back 5,000 miles later(about) and replace the rotors w/ new ones bc they warped

 

Sure, here you go.

Here's a picture on the truck..

 

thank you Kota.. its been added to the wish list..

 

I think I'll be taking your reccomendations when I redo my brakes this summer Kota! I went cheap this last summer, $20 pads, $10 each rotor. The rotors were new, but I'm pretty sure they were made from raw steel. I can stop 0-60 in about 3 miles and 2 flame-offs.

The prices on the links you provided were what I expected to pay, but when I saw the deal, well, you know... Ok, I'll go to the dog house now.

thanks, i'll go with new rotors.

 

Be very easy with the caliper bolts, especially going back in with them.

Hand start them and make sure you are running them back in straight. You will know if you messed this up because they will not tighten up.

This is a common enough mishap that NAPA has an over sized caliper bolt ready to use if needed. Part number BK6751539
