Is there another source out there for the break slips that sit under the ears on the brake pads? I don't know what else to call them except clips...anyway, I stopped to pick up a set at the stealer over lunch, and the parts guy said they were $25 A SET. A SET BEING 2! My math tells me that would be $100 to do my truck. That's BS.
I will just pull the old ones out and clean them now, but I was hoping to replace.

brake hardware kit at any parts store

Duralast Part #633884 at Autozone. $11.99 for front set-all in one for both sides/4 slides and 4 rubber boots. Just purchased one yesterday.
