Prepare to laugh: Brake question: HELP!
Aight dammit. I'm trying to order some brakes for my Ram on Advance's website. They have a $30off $150 promotion, plus free shipping, so Im trying to capitalize.
What are the differences between shoes and pads? I see some that say "Brake pad set", shows four pads, but the description says "location:rear". So, apparently I need pads for the rear, shoes for the front? I'm looking at the ceramics, just cause I hear they're better about the brakedust. Any help is great, I want to include these in the bill.
They also had the 5qrts + filter for 27.99, Mobil 1. So I got 2 sets of those, for both trucks. (+1 extra apiece) and 24 NGK's. Couldn't find jack for pcv's . Im a noob, lol, prolly just not looking in the right places.

The only shoes on the truck are for parking brakes. You have disc brakes all around and therefore need 4 sets of pads. The reason they seperate them front and rear is because the fronts are bigger if I remember right. For the PCV, you are gunna want to get it from Rockauto.com. No one has one in stock or in the warehouse around me and I just bought mine from rockauto today. Bought it around noon, they shipped it 4 hours later.
AIRTEX Part # 6P1279 is the PCV you want (you dont have the flex fuel right) and only $26 shipped.

Yeah, she's got all 4's. I have a squeaking when I come to a slow stop, guess they're getting to that point..... annoying as hell, I know that much. I tried to peek through the wheels to see how much pad is left, couldn't get a good look at'em.
Advanced doesn't carry ceramic fronts, just the rears, doesn't make much sense, but then again, what the hell do I know? Haha

They all have disk brakes on all four corners that I've seen. Inside the rear disk are a set of shoe pads for the parking brake. Yeah, the larger pads are for the front, since and don't quote me on this you do 70% of your braking with the fronts. Make sure you have your rotors checked too. If they're even a little out of round you're gonna blow through those new pads in no time.
