How True is This About Brakes

From : william boyd

Q: fred wrote hi all! been wondering lately about replacement of the front rotors on my 99 ctd 2500 rwd. is there a measurement or rule of thumb used by brake shops on when the rotors need to be replaced or is it strictly appearance out of true criteria thats used also how many times can the rotors be resurfaced tia best to all fred the brake rotors on your truck can be resurfaced an unlimited amount of times as long as the finished thickness is more than 1.285. if your wear exceeds this amount you have to replace them. hub & rotor assemblies are available for your truck for just under $100.00 each at napa stores. new rotors are better than re-surfaced rotors. if you can afford new ones get them. www.napaonline.com .

i think its very unlikely that the lift pump would decide to shit the exact moment he decided to change the fuel filter. even if the lift pump did go out he would have most likely seen symptoms before now. the fact that the op put up two messages within one hour and then hasnt replied to any other posts since then leads me to believe that he got it running. .
