I have EGR's carbon/kevlar pads on my 04. They work great. Keith

what did you do to wear em out already, driving with two feet again :Sly

Thanks Keith

Robert, I live in Atlanta...I spend more time on the brakes than on the go pedal

i thought in atalnta it was required by dealers to remove all brake pedals, you guys just swerve and bounce off the median guard rails or run into ME

I paid extra for the pedals, thought they'd make a good foot rest

Keith never heard of carbon kevlar pads may have to try those out.

oh you mean like the new dodge chassis cab
New brake components and standard four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system (ABS) ensure superior safety and crash-avoidance capability. Components include chassis brake lines (brake and fuel bundle), rear brake lines, rear park brake cables and extensions, and brake friction material for improved wear
sure beats dragging your foot like fred and barney

Here is EGE's site. http://www.egrbrakes.com/ I actually replaced the rotors with their slotted ones too.

Thanks for the link Keith.

What kind of mileage wear have you gotten with them?? I don't want to do this every 6 months with the amount of miles I drive.

I have about 15,000 miles on the pads and they look like new. I had to do a panic stop from 70 and I'll tell you these things haul this monster to 0 in a hurry. Keith

I thought you just bought that truck I went 50k on the 03' Dodge before needing pads.

Bought it last Sept. But driving in Atlanta's stop and go traffic takes it's toll on brakes, and having my heavy foot doesn't help either

man time flies.. i think its speeding up.. get some new pads before you need to replace those rotors. that's my tech tip for the week.
