Best front brake pads on these trucks ? about a year or two i replaced everything with good ol NAPA pads drums and shoes, well they suck! So im curious what everybody has tried. Ive heard some good from oreillys performance friction pads but how is there rear shoes or anybodys opinion

O'Reilly stuff is pretty good,we use the crap out of it. Normally the brake best select (ceramic stuff),but I've had Wagner thermo-quite for the last 4yrs (same pads) and about 60k or so on them. I down shift and use my trailer brakes a bunch so I save the truck brakes.

I have NAPA pads, rotors, and calipers on the front and 40k miles later they are still good.

IMO, it's all more or less the same. I just deal with whoever treats me good and has all the parts in stock.
