You're looking at about $250 a set for the rotors. They're slotted and drilled. I'm not a fan of drilled rotors though to be honest. I'd probably go with the slotted ones just because I don't like my rotors to have holes in them. Those are a little cheaper too. The brake pads are about $100 a pair if you go with the Supreme Green. Those are formulated to create less brake dust so your wheels don't get as dirty as fast. Once I get my tires, that's what I'll be switching to. Slotted rotors and the Supreme Green pads. I don't know how they compare to stock rotors and pads as far as pricing goes, but I'm sure they'll be worth it. Especially with your 37's.

 

For those with issues.... do you ever wash your truck while it is hot? Spraying cold water on HOT rotors can impact them.

 

I've got a lady friend with a 06 Colbalt.One of them fully loaded ones. Heated seats,upgraded radio etc.163k on it. Factory pads/shoes. Brakes got to pulsating pretty bad at around 150k. I had rotors trued. Pads about 50%. Only cut about 3 thousand off rotors. It goes through Atlanta traffic on I-85 twice day 5 days a week. Bad stop and go. 44 miles each way. I just got to think a lot of brake issues are drivers. I found over the years that rapid tire wear and brake wear go hand in hand. I run my vehicles hard or so I thought. But I get lots of miles out of tires and brakes. My lady friend has rolled two sets of Michelin's about 70k each. She drives that car every where. I might as well put this in here for the early oil change believers. She uses a Quick lube by her house with a full service car wash. She gets oil/filter(theirs) by her OLM. She does not watch mileage. Her Colbalt uses no oil,no sludge or any real varnish in the valve cover and sounds the same as it did with 30k on it. Its been a great comuter car.

 

In 1998 I left the big city and have lived in 3 rural areas since.

In 1998 I bought my first Dodge truck
In 2005 I bought my second Dodge truck
In 2010 I bought my third Dodge truck

205,000 total miles and not a single brake pad or rotor change.

Question: Is it Dodge quality or rural driving???????????????????

 

My 1999 Dakota damn near 130,000 miles on her, original brakes! It's all on how you drive them. I do combination of city and highway and have never had an issue with brakes on any of my vehicles. The wifes truck as well, lots of miles, factory original brakes.

 

My opinion, its mainly bad driving habits if people are warping rotors.
(unless ther are issues with the brake system to start with - not the case with 95% of them though)
In your case, pretty dam good driving habits i would say...!

I still own my 70 dodge challenger T/A 340SixPak, and it STILL has the original brakerotors & rear drums.
I`ve put one set of pads on it since new in 1970, still has the original shoes in rear.

 

Hey 11RamR/T, how do you like these rotors and pads off ebay? i want to go EBC rotors with yellowstuff pads but i am not looking into a 700 + $ purchase but i dont want to be left short on something as important as good braking

 

on another note, the only vehicles ive had rotor warping on are my 06 and 09 dodge. never on my silverado, camaro's, del sol, probe, sierra, ralliart

 

^^X2 these seem to work well.

 

ok so the rotors and pads posted by 11ramr/t are not free shipping to canada so i was looking at
