I have a 97 F150. 44k and the rotors are shot, didn't even make it to the first turning. They had to be knocked off with a sledge hammer totally rusted to crap. Anyone else have this experience?

 

Factory rotors from ford have been crap for years now. I would even turn them if i had the chance they will just warp again. you are better off replacing them.

 

You probably really needed front pads at 30K. Mine were mostly done in by then and the rotors turned fine. Still going strong at 46K now.
