Wagoners

Hey, I finally broke down like a 12 gauge and got me a set of the thermoquiets. I installed them onto the front of the truck today, and to my surprise nearly 70% of the stock ones were already plastered! Only 17,000 lightly drove and never dead stopped miles. The rotors were gouged alil too dude said I could have used a turn, but I didn't have the time. That stinks man rotors going bad at 17,000 miles.

Well I guess I will say that so far "knock on wood" thats been the only complaint with my truck is the brakes leaking and dusting everything.

Im crossing my fingers in the hope the dust will subside tremedously.

They solved my dust problem. I put them on at 11,000 and hve 82,000 on the truck, so 71,000 dust free miles.

Wagner ThermoQuiets. CarQuest Blues are also a good option. I had to wipe off my front wheels almost daily with my stock pads. Put the Wagners on and now I never wipe them off between washes.

Amen, to that blue. Dude the dust was so bad on my fronts that they were starting to melt on my nice rims. I hope this solves my prob, if they do good imma get me the back set next month and be done with it.

Is it the thermoquiet semi metallics or the ceramics everyone is using? Checking Oreilly's site they have both.

I'll probably go with the Thermoquiets once my original stockers are done, based on Blue's recommendations.
I don't think it will be anytime soon however because I have 72k km's on my stockers so far, and they have a lot of life left in them. No vibrations either.

I've only had the wagners on for a day but I can tell a difference. NO DUST at all.
