    A big old “Thank You” to big G at McKays Chrysler in Waite Park. The truck was due for new brakes all the way around, after a quick phone call I dropped her off. Had some lunch and a little bs time with Glen and Doug and she was done and back down the road I went.

    Since the 05 2500 went 109, 588 miles on the orignal pads and rotors, I guess I’ll be seeing you in another 5-6 years!!

    Thanks Buddy!

    109,000 miles on a set of breaks? Wow. What are you guys using for pads? My old work van was lucky to get a year to year and a half. My chevy silverado is lucky to get 2+ years but then again it almost always has a boat on back.

    180k on the duramax with 30% life left on the pads.

    If you saw the size of the front/rear rotors along with GM’s gi-normous front pads you’d understand why we are getting big miles on our trucks. I got 90,000 on my last set.

    Yeah, but how many pairs of shoe soles have you gone through Cal?

    No Flintstone stopping yet….

    Gotta love the down shifting of a diesel. Less wear on brakes, and this is my commuter car.
