New brakes on finally, dont think I could have waited too much longer to do them.
Not sure when the front brakes where last done, its one if the things not in my records for the truck. There was a decent amount of pad left on the old ones, but they were squeeking alot, and looked glazed-with minor cracking once I got the pads off.
I went with Bendix rotors and Hawk HPS pads, so far everything feels great!
Old fluid from driver side before it started to bleed out clean:
New pads and rotor on pass side:
Nice to be able to stop quietly and reliable again, have a long tow coming end of June(3k, biggest Ive towed), trying to get ready.

Well, technically they should.... but, they like to rust in place, just like on a car... and sometimes need some convincing to come off.
