Say what?!?!
My left front brakes on the 99 have been squealing pretty badly for about a week. I figured they were down to the indicators and needed changing. I picked up a new set of pads today and got to work. I pulled the right tire off first, since my garage isn't wide enough for me to do both sides, without moving the truck. The right side pads still had plenty of meat on them, and really did not need to be changed. Since I already had the wheel off, they got changed.
When I pulled the left wheel off, those pads looked as thick as the other side. I went ahead and changed them too. The only thing I noticed different, was that the left side pads each had 5-6 cracks. When I test drove the truck, the brakes felt a lot better and no squealing!
