I'm having new pads put on today, on all four wheels on my F150 w/ HDPP. Since a trip to the Rockies is in my near future, I wanted extreme duty/heavy duty pads installed. The pads will be semi-metallic. From what I've read so far, semi metallic pads will dissipate heat better than ceramic.
I am also changing out the brake fluid. Replacing with a synthetic fluid. I want the best possible stopping power I can get.
GOOD call!!!
I tried Ceramics years ago on our 99 Tahoe with NEW US Made rotors. Warped in no time. My trusted brake suspension alignment guy said go back to GM stock pads. He turned rotors added GM pads and all has been great for several years. OH the dust is hardly noticeable!!!
I don’t know what old ceramic pads acted like, but old habits die hard.
I have 3 vehicles with ceramic pads right now. 1 is OE, truck
Idk if they’re ceramic-like, ceramic or made of unicorn turds, but they work, they last and they have about 80% less brake dust than the other vehicles.
YMMV
