Re: Brake Repair: Slotted/Drilled Rotors worth the cost?
how long are these hills? i mean damn you are cooking the brakes going down the hills off road at what speed? i pull trailers with my c 20 and never but maybe once have i cooked the brakes. and that was with 20k at 45 down hill when a dummy pulled out last min. how are you braking? just holding the peddle down? if so thats wrong. need to roll brake alittle harded till you slow down a bit lower then you want and reless them. same way we do in semis. works for them works for you. also better pads. i just put in wagner power stops not what i wanted but so far are 10x better then the cheap autofail pads i ran. and they where 28 bucks at rockauto.
