If the Hawk LTS dust that much, then I will keep looking at others.
For anyone lead to believe that the ABS system is calibrated around brake pad material, you are being flat out lied to. The ABS system detects wheel lock up, so if you are not locking up wheels (which none of the pads mentioned should any more then OEM pads) then you have other issues with your ABS system.
I would like a little more braking performance over the OEM pads. Even with how well the truck and trailer performs, it was actually a day not towing a trailer but having a heavy load in the bed where I wish I had a little more bite as I felt braking performance was not put to par. I would hate to have that feeling with the 5th wheel pushing on me.
As for ford fluid is a premium blend, you can get the same characteristics from other brands with the same or better dry and wet boiling points. Many times at a better price.
