Tacoma brake problems????

Hi guys, i am new here!:)

i did a search and came up with nothing:(

has anyone else had problems with the brakes on their taocoma?

ive got a 2001 TRD 4x4 stick shift, ive onlydone 25K mostly freeway miles and already the brakes are grinding!:mad:

took it to the dealer, and they would not cover it with waranty and even wanted cash to inspect...i told them where to go!

can anyone recomend a good brand of pads for this sucker, i always thought the brakes wernt that good and i dont drive that hard, but less than 25K on a new truck is a bit poor i think

thanks in advance

If you need parts or service I'd be glad to help you out. I'm a former Toyota tech, now with Lexus. I do side jobs out of my home in Escondido if your interested.......drop me a line...:)

I have 25,000 miles on my 02 double cab and am on my 2nd set of pads.... I don't drive my truck hard and 80% of my driving is highway.......

i have it appart now and can not get the pads out! Do i need to pound out the 2 pins holding the pads in? I purchased chec er ceramic pads with a lifetime warranty.
