the ceramics start as powder. they are then heated and fused into a solid sintered shoe. on pads this is ok since they dont flex. on shoes the backer plates flex when you apply the brakes. i would bet your truck has semi-metallic on the front and rear. -- steve williams wow thank you for all the info. it was verry helpfull. as for the ceramic pads not bending if its a powder would the powder nead to bend just a question. buy the sounds of it for a daily driver organic sounds like the best bet. but for hauling a trailer if it was what was on the truck to begin with ill get them agian. they lasted this long and the roters and drums have hardlly any wear on them.. so organic by the looks of it. is that what napa makes them out of there is a napa in our tiny town so ill pick some up. patrick well there are really only a few types of pad materials useable on a daily driver. organic pads- older tech but will stop better than just about every other type once. then they build up heat and fade. so they developed semi-metallic- which are organic pads with metal binders. the metal usually brass provides faster heat dissipation and gives longer wear at the detriment to rotor life. heat has to go someplace plus any metal will increase the wear to the rotors. then there are carbon fiber pads/shoes. they are great once they warm up to temperature. but the first time you step on the pedal with cold pads you will notice they dont grip as hard. then there are ceramic pads. they are semi metallic pads using a ceramic powder and high temperature to sinter the base materials into pads. they are also good pads they grab better hot than cold but are still better than cf on the first stop. however you can plan on rotors at just about every brake pad change. for drums you can get organics semis and some cf shoes. the ceramics dont flex very well so i dont think they will translate into a shoe very well. also with drums try to find a shop that still knows how to grind the shoes to fit a worn or turned drum that helps eliminate a lot of problems caused by the flexing of the backer shoe and the lack of contact that results with a turned drum. -- steve williams ok i was fishing for anything bad about ceramic brakes on an earlier post. so i might as well ask the group about all brakes then. what are the ups and downs about all the kinds of brakes that are made what should i get. yes i have front anti-lock and real drum. i wish i could get drums on front but thats another story. i do quite a bit of off road and trailer hauling. so all info would be wonderfull. and as for the ford comercial lattely about no anti-lock brakes and cromple zones. its kinda funny my trailers do. where are they getting there info from at the addvertising department. just a personal funny. patrick ----== posted via feeds.com - unlimited-uncensored-secure usenet ==---- http//www.feeds.com the #1 group service in the world! 120000+ groups ----= east and west-coast server farms - total privacy via encryption =---- ----== posted via feeds.com - unlimited-uncensored-secure usenet ==---- http//www.feeds.com the #1 group service in the world! 120000+ groups ----= east and west-coast server farms - total privacy via encryption =---- .

talked to a dealer who says now the ho is emission compliant. gotta check further. yes as of 04.5 the cummins 600 325hp/600ft.lbs. was 50-state legal. prior to that however the ho engine 305hp/555ft.lbs. was not available in ca-emissions states. .

denny wrote you may be right there but it doesnt seem to help them with repairs. jam i know it may seem that way but the automotive service industry is one of the most technically challenging you will find. it aint easy repairing vehicles today. i would challenge anyone who is interested to come and spend a week in my or one of my techs shoes.... i think you would change your tune and maybe have a new respect for what we are up against. mike as an electronics technician i have to work on everything from tubes to satellites. on top of that i had to read the service manual and do the research so i could tell my dodge technicians what to do. i guess i shouldnt stereotype all factory techs just because three dealers in pittsburgh suck. jam jam it took to the sixth computer repair person till this damned computer would work and hes just a guy that works on them in his basement in the evenings. the repair industry is all the same no matter what youre working on. you just have to find the right person and it doesnt matter if he works for a dealership or under a shadetree. denny cmbba so true. jam .

its just that i havent heard your mouth running in this group maybe it was me trying to block it out....the kids were over the other day acting the way 3 year old do. maybe thats why i noticed your posts again. so by your logic during the 70s 80s and 90s i was threatened by myself. amazing! what you do in the mirror is your own business .
