Just wanted to know around how many miles you may of had on you truck before replacing your brake pads(not including the brake judder issue) for the first time.Thinking I will need to replace mine here shortly and also what pads did you decide to use?
Thanks! :D

well this big of a truck i would starting looking at them about 35-40 thousand miles. just depends how you drive but this truck is heavy and i would say it will chew threw some pads. i think someone said they were at 45,000 miles and needed to replace thier brakes but i dont recall if it was 2 or 4wd.
I performed the Brake Judder replacement at 38,000 miles and the pads still had over 70% meat left, so I dont think I'll be replacing these pads until well over 100,000 miles. I drive fast but, I let off the accelerator way before I have to stop, for minimal brake use! Just my .02
But for Brake pad suggestions I would recommend Brembo brake pads, Make sure there ceramic coated!
all depends on ur drivin habbits....

Well they are getting noisy at stops and I have 19,000 miles on her and the brake judder issue taken care of at about 800 miles. So not sure what the deal is............ any ideas? I do tow an Argo, but I don't think that would have put that much extra abuse on the brakes.

I'd say the nozzle for your brake pad lube is clogged. Pull off the wheel and use a paper clip to unclog the nozzle. Since I drive in a lot of mud I had to put a screen over mine. Hope this helps.
