    My pads and rotors get roasted every year it seems, lots of mountain travel fully loaded though. Also ride the brakes quite bit trailing to go slow and look for tracks.

    They are way better than the stock ones. They stay on better and they are textured where they are easy to turn.

    And they look coll with blue lights. :thumbsup:

    My HVAC selector is stuck on the feet position. Which is less than ideal in the middle of summer.

    Anyone have any ideas what to look at before I start ripping things apart?

    You get what you pay for, I think you can get generic pads for 30.00 at Pepboys then if 110.00 is too much

    Hopefully I'll never need to replace it then. :p Considering I only drive the truck 20k a year max anymore I should hopefully be good for a while. I was just stressing the fuck out tightening it up, I was fully expecting it to strip.

    When I did mine, I made sure to have new washers for both ends. Not sure how different it is on the 3.4 vs my 2.7 though

    Shameless plug for a product I recently skeptically bought but has blown me away: I hooked it up and used the Torque app on an old android phone I had sitting around. Great functionality and connection each of you should have one in your tool box.
