I had a tenant at the RV park who pulled in with his brakes on fire. E-450. We went to the refraccionia (parts store). Brand new rotor, fifty four dollars (in pesos). "Sorta weird" he explained as he measured the difference between the old and new rotors. "You mean I wore two pounds worth of metal off these originals?"
He loved doing a full brake job under the palms. He emailed me a few months later and said all the parts, the total cost him three hundred dollars less than what the USA parts stores wanted. It's a bear having to fork over four dollars eighty cents each to have the new discs turned. Intelligent guy, he even replaced the master cylinder when he ran his finger down into the goo at the bottom. New drums, calipers, hoses, cylinders. This guy went for it.
