I havnt actually changed front pads on these trucks but in general they are pretty simple. As for what type, semi-metallic is the most used kind. You can get ceramic which is supposed to be quieter.

 

changing front brake pads is a very simple job. you remove 2 bolts that hold these metal plates that hold the caliper down. then pull the caliper straight up. 1 of the pads stays with the caliper and the other will most likely stay on the bracket. you will most likely need something like a c-clap to push the piston back in.

 

What are you selling? A truck? Or spare brake pads? Brakes on this type of truck is simple. The biggest job for me is getting all 8 lug nuts on and off.

 

I am selling the ram/base on the hood

 

i wouldn't sell the ram/base on the hood. you can get a new one for about $50 and for about $5 more you can get one that has red lights for eyes.

 

there is NO substute for a paper factory service manual. some times a year model one way off will get you buy.
