Re: Brakes & rotors
Be careful of drilled rotors. They like to crack at the holes.

Re: Brakes & rotors
I always used cross drilled slotted rotors on my HP B4C Camaro.......they would bring me to a stop from 160 mph consistently for about 3 months before they started getting cracks in them. (Sshhh)

Re: Brakes & rotors
Dimpled or smooth rotors are better on a 4x4, mud and small rocks get stuck in the holes on a drilled rotor.

Re: Brakes & rotors
Hopefully they will last until retirement & the mods begin. Honestly,
I don't do a lot of off roading right now. To-from work in winter & towing the camper is about all.

Re: Brakes & rotors
If you want to break the piggy bank. You can buy a set of these rotors. Just alittle over $500 each.
And add another $300 for brake pads.

Re: Brakes & rotors
Don't know if I'm running the exact same part number as that, but I've been running Power Stop zinc coated, drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads for 4 years and roughly 50k miles. They were a huge improvement over stock, especially running 37's and the way I drive. They are great and I've never had a single issue with them. Those that have seen my truck in action, can attest to how well they work also. I bought all 4 rotors and 8 pads on eBay (don't remember the retailer) for roughly $300. Would do it again in a heart beat.TwinStick wrote:Anyone try the Power Stop part # 220536 Heavy Duty Truck & Tow Brake Kit from Rock Auto.com ?

Re: Brakes & rotors
I think you'll be very happy with them! And once you see how well they work, you'll be even happier that you didn't pay out the a$$TwinStick wrote:Yes, those are the same. Zinc coated, drilled & slotted w/ceramic pads. Thanks.

Re: Brakes & rotors
I have been using R1 concepts and been very pleased. http://www.r1concepts.com/ their on e-bay too.
They are a little more money but seem to be a quality kit.
I'm watching this thread so if they work out I might be able to save a little money with these, so please report your findings
Rock Auto has no kit for the 09-2011 2500 though.
So e-bay with the PowerSport line may be the next best choice for price on a 2009-2011 2500.

Re: Brakes & rotors
Still waiting for them to arrive. They have shipped though. Wont be able to get to them for a few weeks though. Stay tuned.
Re: Brakes & rotors
Well they all arrived today. I took pics but photobucket has totally changed their set up since last time i downloaded some pics.
I am now completely lost. Dont know how to download pics on that site anymore.
Why do they do that ? Just when us computer idiots get something figured out--- BAM, they change it all. 



Re: Brakes & rotors
Installed rotors & pads today. Lots of stuff going on in my life right now, so sorry, no pics. All i can say about pads & rotors are WOW---WHAT A DIFFERENCE !!! Rotors are specific side to side. I followed the break-in procedure to the letter: 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph to 5 mph without letting the brakes cool & NOT coming to a complete stop. Then: 5 moderate stops from 25 mph to 5 mph letting the rotors cool after each brake application. Then avoid towing & hauling loads for the first 100 miles, while the pad completes the resin cure.
This trucks now stops like it should have from the factory. VERY HAPPY so far.
