Hmm. May just get regular rotors from RockAuto. Not sure yet. How much longer would the slotted and dimpled last compared to just regular?

Pads and rotors or just pads? I may just do that. But damn $60 a piece of rotors is a bit much lmao.

both. everything brake related is expensive for these trucks. I put rotors and pads all the way around on my Mustang for @$100. You can barely do one wheel on the Dak for that much...lol

Very easy to do though. Done it on a couple vehicles myself.

yea I've been watching videos on youtube on it. The problem I foresee is if the rotor doesn't come off, because I have no big f*ing hammer

you don't need a real BFH. Just a persistant arm, and an average FH, plenty of PB blast, and don't cry for the old rotors 'cause they will be "hammered"
