    Agreed, average, for the average commuter. EBC knows brakes but I must say, I tried a set of their pads & I was disappointed. I don't know which ones they were but they were painted green & cost well over $100. Those damn pads wore out fast & made dust like crazy. I went back to Hawk Ceramics, been using them for years. Not the best bite when cold but they'll get heat in them quick & it never gets cold here. Last long & very low dust. I might try something else on the next brake job.

    FWIW, I just put in Castrol synthetic dot 4, the green RainX washer fluid, & I use Mobile1 oil filters. :devil:

    @Uphillshunter Don't get me wrong, I never had issues with the Brembo rotors, never warped or anything. They look all shiny & nice when new like any new rotor but they won't stay that way. They'll get all rusted up in a few months but then again so will OEM rotors. But the rust won't hurt anything & you can always paint them if you wanted to.

    Went with Centrics this time, they come coated black to prevent rust & they're less expensive. So far they seem to perform better than the "Brembos". I'm happy with them so I'm going to buy another set. I always have an extra set that I use to rotate so i donxt have to wait to get my rotors turned.

    No work on the truck today, did get an alignment again today though, but I have been working on it a lot lately & still got more to do. Finally got tired of my 20yr old Craftsman jack. Bought a new jack from HF today w/ coupon. I never thought I would say this about anything from HF but this jack is bad ass & heavy as fuck. No wonder Snap On tried to sue. Can't believe I waited so long to get a new one.... well I do have an aluminum one from Matco (well Matco's name on it) but it's got no business for lifting my truck.
