Default 2004 brake job

I need to replace the pads on my 2004 2500 Cummins. I've never done this to this truck and need a step by step guide please. Can someone please post a link or something that will get me through this?

Thanks

When in doubt, go to the FAQ section:

or use the search function. There arent too many questions I start a new post for anymore. Only after I've searched extensively on here, other forums, and other websites do i post something new. We'd have a lot less of the same topics over and over again if people would follow suit

I didnt see a difference in the manual between the different trucks. In addition to that guide, make sure you get some caliper grease and grease your slider bolts and boots.

changing brakes is easy. You should have no issues handling it at all.

I checked out Napa online to get my pads there and of course they have about 5 or 6 choices. I don't want or need anything extravagant just something that will stop the truck reliable and not fall apart in 6 months. Can someone give me a clue which pads to buy at Napa?

Thanks!
