: Replacing front brake pads?

Has anyone had to replace the front pads yet? I went to change mine yesterday on my d-max Savanna and they looked like I have hardly used them at 50K. My 02' 2500 Express I have to change the pads every 40K. Just another reason to get the D-max vans.:)

I am at 70,000 and they still look good for another 30k. They are so much better than the 02 and older vans

Yup, they sure are. I think since they went to rear disks, adjusted the porportioning valve so there is more braking in the rear that this had made all the difference.

I got 25K miles and was told they are at 85%
much better than my previous E350 with 7.3, replaced every 40K
