Chicken! I have 10k on mine (since June this year) and they are not warped, cracked or anything else. Yes, they were cheap, but so are all the choices (do they even make Brembo rotors for our truck?) Either way I look at it, when they wear out, I'll get new ones.
They can't be any worse than the factory ones (especially if they were cut already!)

I think the yes's outnumber the naysayers. I told the guy I was not interested and he said I could have them for $50.00. He's out of a job and needs the money. I just might do it for $50.

Agreed. Only 2k on mine so can't speak to longevity so far but stopping action is improved.

I'm saying yes. This spring I plan on having a set in the front and back.

As for oem being best.... I dont think this statement has much merit with these trucks. my stock rotors were warped beyond repair in just 12k. these brake performance rotors have held up just fine. I havent had any issues while towing, they do the job for me. when I need rotors again, I will go with these.
I've had excellent luck with mine and noticeably better braking performance than the stockers. My stocks warped right around 12k also, wouldn't go back to another set of those if you paid me. Living in NJ I get to deal with hordes of idiots that smash the brakes for any and all reasons on a daily basis so I definitely get a lot of use out of them and was very happy with the better stopping power.

Default EBC Rotors and Pads

I installed a set of EBC rotors and Green Stuff pads at 30,000 miles. The difference in braking power, and decrease in brake dust was amazing. I just turned 62,000 and replaced the pads. Pads still had about 1/3 left on them, but I did not want to take a chance on scarring the rotors. Dodge replaced my stock front rotors with heavier rotors at 10,000 when I brought it in for shuddering, but the EBC setup is way better than factory.

when i had my crossed drilled and slotted rotors they did fine never had a problem with them...i put on my 20" rims that i bought for cheap and started shaking real bad so i took em off and went back to stock...stupidest decision cause it wasn't the brakes it was the wheels!
