Hey so I'm doing brake pads soon. Any brands people have had good experiences or that I should stay away from?
I know OEM would be best but I need to get some budget (rock auto) parts for now. I got bills to pay, people!
Almost got the truck back on the road. Just need to do brake pads and putting on some rebuilt CVs hopefully next weekend. Then back to Daily Driving the T!
Thanks!

I've only had to put pads on the front and I used the Wagners.
I had my rotors turned vs. replacing them.
It's been about 2 years now with no issues. It's my daily driver and It's not hard on brakes since I have the 5 speed.

Had great luck with Napa premiums as well as carquest / advanced autos house top of the line brands. Wagners I have had noice after they are about 1/2 to 3/4's worn. OEM are always a good choice but they are pricey. I always go with full ceramics as I like the feel and the lack to no brake dust.
