Q: what kind of pads would you recommend replacing them with personally i had the old warped rotor issue. at 23000 miles they were a mess. replaced them and got another 55000 miles on the new front set on my 2000 dakota. problem is that dodge uses a very hard semi metalic pad. still had my original pads with 80 percent left on them. truck now has 78000 miles on it. just did a clean up on the set i bought before and a nice set of new pads. personally i recommend losing those stock pads before they over heat your rotors. scott skilled trade uaw kevin cooper wrote hey everyone been a while since i posted here but i need some help. i just bought traded my 98 dakota for an 05 4x4 quad cab and everything was great with it until about a week ago i noticed that at high speeds 60+ when i brake whether hard or gradually the entire truck not just the steering wheel vibrates. i had asked a friend about and he said it might be warped rotors but i wasnt so sure cause it only has about 2500 miles. any advice is appreciated as always. the minute you say ...brake problem.... somebody is going to shout warped rotors. thats been a real problem with dakotas for years. at least thats what people claim. however nobody has actually placed a dial indicator on the rotors to find out. people take their trucks back to the dealer claiming the rotors are warped. the dealer either doesnt want to mess with it or just wants to shut the guy up. so they replace the rotors without checking. then the same guy comes back in 10k miles screaming about his warped rotors again. and the cycle continues. first read this http//www.stoptech.com/whitepapers/warpedrotorsmyth.htm second use a dial indicator and actually check your rotors. mine have almost 70k miles and they are still well within specs. finally check for the many other things that can cause this symptom tie rod ends steering rack broken rear spring etc. -- .bob 1997 hd fxdwg - turbocharged! 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1966 ffr cobra - ongoing project .
