Off-Road Brake Discussion
Okay, so a few months ago I redid all the brakes on my K10, and had great brakes. Now the rear drums are completely shot and front discs squeaking like crazy. I have only driven the truck a few hundred miles, but it has gone through alot of mud.
I swapped in ceramic pads in the front and cut drain holes in the bottom of the rear drum backing plates. What are you guys doing to make your brakes last? |

Re: Off-Road Brake Discussion
If you drive in a lot of mud and water not to much you can do, mud is liquid sand paper to brake pads.
I have a atv that all it does is go through mud and water and it eats brake pads about every 100 miles or so. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Off-Road Brake Discussion
I never had any problems with drums and mudding through a whole lot of water my brakes were always good but i also took the hose thoroughly to the brakes after i was done but i absolutely hated after it rained my rear drums would be so touchy it would put me against the windshield, converted to rear newer FF with drums now
