LMAO, only shows a tuned truck can kick it off the line. BTW the clown in the D-Max was doing the counting so he know exactly when to launch, as evident by the fact that the clown in the Ram did start.
As far as "Pretty good testimony to durability when being abused" unless you know the truck that is a ridicules comment don't you think? Kind of like the clowns around here the say....I have 180,000 miles and are still have the OE brakes, tires, ect,ect on and on. Come on really, no wonder GM needed money from the Gov, they never sell any parts.

That was a poke at Cummins12V98
He was suggesting the Dmax had a programmer.
And I must be a clown. My 2001 Dmax had 134K on it when I sold it and still had about 1/3 life left on the pads. My trucks spend 70-80 loaded heavy..So yes it is very possible for the Dmaxes to go 200K on a set of brakes.
I expect my 2011 will do even better as the brakes were upsized considerably.
LMAO well sorry but I have never seen a Chevy/GM go anywhere near 100K on the original equipment pads but 200K nope not buying it. I have done a few brake jobs on GM trucks and none had anything close to 100K. But if you are saying you run 70-80% of you driving "loaded heavy" and still had 1/3 of your pads @ 134K you are one of the very lucky few. But I'm sure your GM/Chevy fan club pals will be posting telling me how they get even better mileage then you!
Man I should have bought a GM because I just spent $685 on new rotors, calipers and pads @138K and OMG that makes the third set of pads and second set of rotors, damn junk Rams! LMAO
Don
Wow, three sets of pads in 138K miles? You must do lots of drag racing. :) Anyway you got me thinking I maybe should check mine so I stuck my phone between the spokes of my Ford and snapped a picture to see how my oem's are holding out after 45k miles. I guess if I snap another picture at about 80k miles I should be able to make a fairly close approximation of how long they will last.
