....unless you get rid of the crappy OEM pads and buy some decent aftermarket pads, like the Porterfield carbon-kevlar pads. Problem solved, no more brake dust! Mine have been great for 10k miles now.

 

Naw...not kidding. It's all about the performance, you know? You can really lighten one of these trucks up if you throw out some non-essential parts. I mean, who needs FOUR brakes? Two are fine...if one fails, you have the other one, no sweat. You can also get rid of the brake lights/turn signals (no one uses them anyways...) and the headlights. I never drive at night, so they're useless. Get rid of other things such as bumpers and inner fenders, and it's dragstrip time!

 

...take the bed off too - no need dragging that thing around if you're not haul'n anything. Might as well remove the cab too - clean fresh air blow'n through your hair, right?

 

My truck is going in for service tomorrow and this is one of the items that needs to be fixed.

 

Brake dust is tolerable for me, actually anything is better than those brakes on a 2003 Expedition we owned, they SUCKED. You drive around the block, and those wheels would black up too quick. Might have to check out those kevlar pads though...

 

The squeal flat out hurts my ears if the windows are rolled down. I clean my wheels every other day but this brake dust is untolerable. Im going to see if they can do something about it and if not oh well, here I come carbon-kevlar pads.
