I saw that, but I'm not touching it... I'm going to find out why the axle should come off. He said something about backing plates. Plus I don't have the time... work 7 days a week and school 5. Not happening

I change the front pads for the price of the pads. The only reason I have replaced the rotors is due to bearing failure. That is with almost 135,000 miles. I feel your pain.

What pisses me off is how I don't know the history of the truck. An older guy owned it and it is in great shape and low mileage. But it had quick lube oil changes, ****ty brake job. I have a back up sensor installed by who knows who. I ripped the monitor out when I got it and I can't figure out how to get the wiring out. Some is under the dash and I pulled the stuff from the back of the truck out. Just stupid crap that annoys me because it doesn't look like it was done well. I think the back up sensor wiring has a pull on the battery too. I keep it on a solar charger most days and when I don't it turns over slower like something was draining the battery
