The parts weren't the great aftermarket ones as I was hoping for. They couldn't source the good stuff. Just stock brakes with coated rotors and "heavy duty" auto shop pads.
Solid OEM style rotors and HD pads are better for this service.
Why is this?
From my reading people said the slotted and drilled with ceramic/carbon were better for towing and hauling. That they blew off the heat a lot better preventing brake fade.
I don't use my regular brakes like that anyway (I use the exhaust brake) but I'm curious what you mean.
All modern rotors are already internally slotted. Drilled rotor particularly on HD trucks will more than likely warp under hard braking with load. If the OEM does not use them........drilled rotors are for pavement princesses. Mass is what you want, it's not a race car.
