Over the past few years, reading various posts on this forum, I got the idea that my brakes would last around 60,000 miles. (2001 F-53). Well, in my case,2 years ago, at 48,000 miles, I got the dreaded "metal-to-metal" grinding noise on the Pa. Turnpike with 200 miles to go, Nothing I could do but wince and use a couple of colorful metaphors every time I used the brakes.
Complete destruction of the rotors. Bottom line, I had everything replaced...rotors, calipers, pads. All four. 2 grand. Game plan is to replace the pads every 40,000 miles. Altho I doubt I'll put enought future miles on this current motorhome, If I ever get another one, that is what I'll do.
