Changed my brakes this weekend...
Bought my truck used and were in dire need of some new brakes. Had lots of squeaking and shuttering. I got such a good deal on the truck I'm not even upset. I put on AC Delco rotors and ceramic pads all around. GREAT CHOICE. Truck is super smooth and quiet. Stops on a dime even with my fully loaded trailer. I noticed a lot of people want other opinions on brakes since Motorcraft brakes are sub-par. So, here it is. Go with AC Delco and don't look back.
Here is what I got:
Rotors:
Pads:
Hope this helps some of you fellas out! GL

You did put the pads with humps on the inside and not on the outside right? Lots of people have gotten that part backwards including the dealer I bought my used truck from. One wheel was correct the other needed new pads and rotor after about 2k miles. You'll know because I imagine that side would have been hard to put on and you will start seeing a lot of brake dust forming on that rim.

Of course!

I'm looking at doing my brakes soon on my 2013. How did you know your rotors needed to be replaced? Was there something noticeably wrong with them or did you have them measured?
I have 60K miles on my existing pads/rotors and am trying to decide if I need to replace just the pads or rotors too.
Thanks for the post, was a lot of help!

Bad shimmy under braking. Since its a new to me truck, just felt good about starting with fresh brakes.
