New brakes were put on when I bought it. Almost 30K ago. When I do them, I'm going with the 5th gen T4R brakes since I have the 17" wheels. The only thing extra I'll have to buy is dust shields and SS brake lines. I also like the fact it's a factory part and I won't have a problem replacing them if something happens.

 

Ah, okay. I've been thinking of doing mine, I have no idea how old the brakes in there are but I've seen people putting 150k on the discs and double that on the drums. The discs had plenty of life when I bought the truck ~50k ago but I'm nearing 150k overall. Was wondering what kind of mileage you had on yours.

Guess I'll just have to pull em apart. Can't hurt to grease em, too.

 

I've got almost 105K on it right now.

 

There's a part of me that wants to grab a used TDI Jetta with the diesel. I know the MPG's would be great, I just can't get passed the fact of having another vehicle to service. Would it really be worth it after having to do that and pay the extra insurance...….

Good Morning Folks

Yeah, I'm not sure if the lower fuel costs would offset the insurance and maintenance. Would depend on how much you drive it probably.

Maybe 20K a year.

 

You'd have to do math to figure how much it'd actually save you in fuel costs.

 

It'd basically get double/triple(depending on city/highway use) what I'm getting now, so it'd save me roughly $50 a month at the least. I think I fill up twice a month...….hell...………..it may be once a week...…...I just get gas when the light comes on

 

I don’t even have a EMS plate. Might consider a ham radio one one day when I get tired of mine.

New on the left and old one on the right.

 

I just will never escape the amateur radio B's.

 

Duck killer!!!!!!!!!!!! How would you like it if ducks had PEPSDN tags?????????

Wouldn’t bother me. My gun would be bigger.

Duck would be like.

 

Also see edit.

 

What's that say? Dunked on?

I wish I could do a personalized plate. Either callsign or something dumb. Maybe on my next vehicle..
