I have now read several places where on my truck since it is a 2wd, the front bearings in the Centric upgrade kit hub and the Power Stop have a very low life. I priced out Motorcraft front and rear rotors with Centric Posi-quiet ceramic pads (all what I am running now) and it comes to $438 shipped. Its under my $500 budget and no reason they wont last the life of the truck at this point. I would say 156K on originals is pretty good. Plus less worries of the front bearings going out early like the Centric and Power Stops I have read about on reviews.
Just sharing my success. I did the Centric hub conversion on my fronts, 30,000+ miles and still working as expected.
Looks good Summers!
I pulled the trigger today on the Powerstop 1940 Z36 F&R brake kit with Z36 pads and new rotors. Went ahead and ordered two new "do not reuse" spindle nuts so my fronts don't fall off on the interstate.
Also pulled the trigger on a Belltech rear sway bar so I can keep up with the lowered ricers
Painted a new tailgate emblem to match the badges, graphite with red vinyl overlay and clear. Turned out great!
how did you paint and then do vinyl overlay? Did you just spray everything then cut out the lettering and ring? I need to re do both my badges and this would be a lot easier than what I was planning to do.
