| Description of the problem | I have lees than 45000 miles on my truck and the break pads on the front have been changed six times. Rotors are fine, the last three times the pads were changed in less then 18 months. When getting the pads from a national auto store the computer brought up bigger pads that would be for my quad cab. They didn't fit and i had to go with the regular cab brake pads. I contacted the dealer they checked them out and said it was the right size caliper on the truck. When i told them about the auto store only bringing up the longer pads they offered to change my rotors and break for a great deal of $400. No thank you. *nm |
