Seriously though the next gen is a lot better in every aspect. But scobar, if so much hate, why not sell your truck and get a newer truck? It's the best kind of truck, paid for!
well I think my rotors have a little bit of a warp in them because there's a little bit of a vibration as I brake. But my uncle works for a company that makes brakes so I know it's good quality stuff. I just want nice smooth braking.

YES, same here. Usually when I don't get my hand completely under it and the tip turns up trying to signal right.

My truck had a vibration while braking, turned out the REAR rotors were warped. Went with PowerStop rotors and Akebono Pro ACT ceramic pads, and the truck stops great, even with a trailer.
