That doesnt sound right to me.......did you replace your rotors when you installed them?

Beyond the previous question, it would also help to know the number of miles on the. A year can mean anything from < 10k to 25k+ depending on how far you drive your truck.

Yeah I did. And yes for the hype and $$ for these pads they did not last too long. They also didn't perform like I thought they would. I have a set of satifies pro ceramic pads now and they are just as good if not better than the EBC's. I just recently put a set of powerslot rotors on and I think I am going to try out some hawk LTS pads here soon. Not only does powerslot recommend these pads with their rotors, but I have heard they are really good as well.

I also have a set of Hawk LTS pads that have yet to go in,
simply because I am waiting for the Bendix pads to wear out.

The Bendix pads are just a bit over 60,000 miles
and look like they will last at least 10,000 to 15,000 more.

It would be a great benefit to other 2nd gen Ram owners
if people would consider doing some 60 to 0 test stops
before and after brake pad changes.

I usually find a flat piece of highway that has an expansion joint
that I use as the 'start' for the test stop when I feel the tires hit the joint.

With the Bendix pads a 60-0 stop takes about 175 feet for me
with a 5400 lb Ram
