Re: To disc or not

Add me to the list of people that are smart enough to make the brakes that came on millions and millions of cars and trucks work, lol. If your truck pulls one way or the other, it's because your brakes have problems, not because they are drums. If your truck has good drums that haven't been turned out a bunch, and good shoes, it should stop fine. Disk brakes are better at heat dissipation than drums, but if drums worked as poorly as all these new guys with brake fluid soaked shoes in .300" overbore drums claim, the human race would be extinct by now.
