If you question the shop, then question them. You don’t know if they’re feeding you a line or not and we don’t know how you drove for the last 60kmiles.
However 60k on a half ton does sound about time unless you drive with eggs on the pedals!
Low dust, get ceramic, 12V98 is wrong. Good ceramics will stop as well or better than most OE pads, last jsut as long, don’t destroy rotors despite the rumors and VERY LOW DUST!
Power stops we’re reccomended recently. They cost less than the boutique brands.
I’m running EBC pads on the pickup and one car and side by side, they are about 80?% less brake dust than organics or semis.
I’m sure Akebono and Hawk are also very high quality.
And to the ceramic brake haters, sit down before you read this......some OEs use them now too.....
Now gat out of your rocking chair and go yell at someone to get off your lawn!
yup, GM has been sourcing ceramic disk pads for HD truck from Akebono for some years now. And 60K on pads??? Shoot, myself and virtually everyone I know with GM2500/3500's get 200K or more out of a set of factory pads. My old 04.5 that went to our son is now at 180K and will likely need new pads in 20K or so when we checked it a few weeks ago.
And at 180K there is minimal rotor wear.
40K on my 2015.5 duramax and the pads look brand new.
