New brakes for '11 F350 PSD?
Well, the TV is in need of new front brakes, so I was wondering if anyone had good experiences with aftermark pads and/rotors? I tow my 35' TT pretty regularly, and believe an ounce of prevention i...

Good gosh, put some better pads and rotors on the dang thing and be done with it! I've never heard such a bunch of hog wash about friction and algorithms and so on. If you honestly think that stuff go ahead and stick with oem, I'll keep my rotor pros or go to EBC's or Hawk and have far better performance everywhere!
Honestly though, the friction coefficient even on stock OEM equip is continuously changing during the life cycle of the brakes and rotors and through the different range of atmospheric conditions and temperatures. That must be one hell of a set of algorithms to be able to adjust on the fly for temperature, humidity/moisture, the age of the pad and if they are glazed over or rough from driving hundreds of miles of gravel; and yet afford everyone great braking performance throughout the life of the brake system; give me a break!
