    My 2005 Tundra DC had 111k when I sold it, rear brakes never touched and had plenty of life left too. Typical Dealer screw job. Did they also propose changing your "dirty" air filter for an extra $80?

    Most of the dirt will fall out by it's self it will get cleaned in all good time when you do the brakes some where around 150,000-250,000 miles so if the brakes last that long with dirt in the drums why worry?.
