'13 needs brakes

[tanman_2006]

Pass side is worn on the rotor but there is still material left on the pads, not much though definitely touching the squeaker

As you may notice from my other posts, I use all RAYBESTOS proffessional grade. Problem is most all of them have gone to made in china now. If you buy AC DELCO OEM, they may be made in mexico, but most are china built.

Most of the calipers are remans, even raybestos

 

[tanman_2006]

Should I buy new or reman? Ac delco was the only new option.

 

[THEFERMANATOR]

I have no problems with remans providedthey are quality ones. I won't use the chain parts tores remans, but AC DELCO or RAYBESTOS is fine by me. Just be certain to use a quality reman from a trusted supplier.

I'm on the othe side of that- new only for me. For the fleets we saw about 2% bad. On a caliper- too high for me.

 

[tanman_2006]

If I get a reman I'd go raybestos but like Will said, I'm a little shy when I see parts that say reman

 

[tanman_2006]

Ended up ordering new ac delco, remans were all labeled srw. Also 2 of the long life rotors as the slotted ones werent Raybestos.

Also ordered a full set of new slide pens.

Make sure to get new boots with the pins and good pin lube.

Make sure to get new boots with the pins and good pin lube.

Every set of raybestos premium pads I have gotten has come with boots. New calipers should come with boots and already lubed.

I think the boots came with the pads but I wasn't sure if I got em that way or with the pins

 

[tanman_2006]

No boots with my pads, all mine had were the metal clips

All I've ever gotten with pads is the metal shims, and the Wagner ThermoQuiets I got from O'Reilly's a few weeks ago were even missing those. Everything went together fine and the pins and boots were in awesome shape (thank god for California trucks).

 

[tanman_2006]

3 of my front pins were fine, one had light scoring. I'm assuming the rears might be ugly. My front boots and pass side rear boots look fine. The driver side rear is screwed 10x over

 

[tanman_2006]

Ok, so an after thought now that I'm back working on it.

Looks like I will have to pull the hub off to change the rotors. I assume I should get Napa to over night some seals?

I replaced my brakes last year at about 125K. I also had to replace both front hubs. Had plenty of pad left, but figured as long as everything was apart, might as well just do it.

 

[tanman_2006]

I went through 3 fromt hubs per side before I did pads finally lol.

The rears are just a pita! Haha

Get replacement hex head pins to put back in instead of the T55 PITAs.

 

[tanman_2006]

'13 went to hex rear. I fought the t55's the whole time I had the 06. Now I have dually with hubs outside the rotor to deal with, no love lol

 

[Ed HD]

Doesn't the dually have unit bearings still? Never had one apart...
