Re: Rear brake pads?
I like your daughter's new ride, it looks pretty clean.
A Montana truck?

They must have hauled a gooseneck with it but it only has that one ding on the drivers door. She had bought her F350 in AZ and you can't find any older vehicles not rusted out back in Michigan. I just happened to be in town for a dump run a while back and saw this one sitting at the old Texaco station on main street. I bought rear pads for it in Billings today ($76) but I dunno if I will get them put on before she flies in Sunday night.

Re: Rear brake pads?
How many miles are on the rear pads? Are you sure they need replacing or do you just want to do it for piece of mind for your daughter. I have 212,000 miles on my Yukon and believe the rear pads are original. I know I bought the Yukon at 130,000 mi. and I haven't had to replace either fronts or backs.

The shop said the rear pads were getting thin when I had it in to get a bunch of baseline maintenance. They wanted to replace rotors too but I don't see anything wrong with them. I looked and stuck my finger through the holes in the wheels, and the surface looks and feels pretty good to me. I figure she can probably make it okay 1600 miles back to MI running empty, but she should definitely install the pads before she tows her gooseneck horse trailer that she just bought to replace the wrecked bumper pull. But, yeah ... I don't think I've ever replaced the rear brakes on any pickup that I've owned - except the 89 K1500 that had no rear brakes working at all when I bought it. Turned out the left side wasn't put together right or something, and all the pieces were all out of place and chewed up. I still don't have a parking brake on it because I need to find a lever at a salvage yard since they don't make that part anymore.
