Found a new toy for duallys ,and one that will help. I believe they have big brakes for all the HD's. SSBC ( Stainless Steel Brakes ) Has big rotors /3 piston calipers for duallys , Check it out , As soon as the 19.5 's go on the 14 inch rotors will follow( Wait,I'm slowing down , as soon as the overheating problem solved )

I had contacted them about this and as of now they only have the bif rotors for six lug (non HD). They do however have the tri-force calipers for our trucks

thanks for the info , I hate it when these places show they have stuff they dont have in production yet, I guess the 3 piston calipers would be good.

So I have a quick question...What is wrong with our brakes now...? Good Grief..):h I have 110K miles and still have nearly 70% pad life left and I have had some sort of trailer on the back for 85% of those miles...

Now do not get me wrong, this is a nice aftermarket product, But probably only a good deal when you have a brake caliper or rotor fail. Then maybe upgrade....

What D Dually said, these brakes are awesome.. Wanna scare someone ? Drive my '99 K2500 suburban with a trailer, or no trailer. It is a real nail biter..
My opinion, is leave these brakes alone, and save your money for a better mod.
Ricky...seeya...

:eek: These brakes are great as long as you don't live in the rust belt. The rotors SUCK,-:t they rust VERY QUICKLY. Stainless would be great!

Arguy,
Ahhhh...Very Very good point....Did not think about that. Out here in California things stay pretty nice. I forget about all the salt and stuff that destroys your metal products...I better be Good SST...301 or 302 is pretty marginal again corrosion...316 or that super nice Aerospace 4 series stuff.

I guess mine must be the 'exception'. At 83K the original pads are still good....but they never have seemed to have much stoping power. Under panic stop, they fade bad.:confused:
