33k and no issues. Did replace the pads with ceramics though.

No warpage at all, but the stock front pads lasted me 47K miles. Squeakers kicked in this morning so I stopped and picked up a set of front/rear Wagner semi metallic pads on the way home. Figure $120 every 47K miles isn't too bad.

Mine warped. I just replaced them with ebc sport drilled and slotted motors and "green stuff" pads. I've had good luck with these in the past. They definitely feel a lot better than the original.

Couple things I learned today
1) there are no squeakers on ram brakes
2) my squeak was some crud in the pad slot of the right hand front brake
3) the pads were only 1/4 worn

Replaced them anyways since I had them off, but they would have been good for another 46K

You didn't replace them with some aftermarket pad? The factory pads are excellent.

Wagner Thermo quiet semi metallic, seem better than stock so far. I've got a couple hundred miles of towing to do this weekend so we'll see how they feel after that.

Not me. 1/4 worn factory pads. Should have saved your money.

I'll send you the old ones if you like

After I pulled the first one, I figured maybe the other side was bad so I replaced it and moved to the next one. Could have taken them back, but it was only $90 for both sets after rebates and now I'm sure that I'm set for several more years.

I'd like. I don't like aftermarket pads. Have had 100s of sets hardly used thrown in the trash in shops I ran.
