I have been on this Forum much longer than you so I will cut you some slack. Ask any longtimers on here they will tell you I don't lie or exaggerate as I have no reason to do so.
I am sure you will say the same about me getting 65k with plenty of tread on my DRW Michelin's with tread left. That's towing 1/2 the miles with full RAWR load. I also used to get 120k easily with 3rd gen Michelin's on my 98 12V 4x4.

You obviously don't own a modern diesel with an exhaust brake.
I also obviously live in the real world. There is no way in hell you are getting 145,000 miles, or anything even close, out of OEM brakes. Or aftermarket either. Not even if you have half a dozen exhaust brakes on the truck and 3 on the trailer.
Internet forum BS.

If you have an exhaust brake you should never experience "brake fade".
well that just speaks to the obvious. how can you have brake fade if you don't use your brakes :R

^Scott, agree with your assessment wholly with exception of the eats rotors part. I know thatโs what is/has been commonly said about ceramic pads but in my experience is wholly false. At least with the half dozen or so vehicles, trucks and cars, that Iโve put 100k + with ceramics on anywhere from 0-100k mile rotors. My experience is with OE ceramic pads, EBC red stuff and super green stuff (whatever theyโre called) and a few sets of Z36 power stops. All on original OE rotors.
Even if they did, like you, Iโd take the trade off 90% for getting rid of brake dust and 10% for marginally better stopping power.

You'll like the PowerStop pads - mostly.
They have a lot more grip than any stock pads and get even better with a little heat. So if you're in stop and go traffic, they get a little stickier and it takes less pedal effort.
Have a panic stop and you will be surprised - they stop HARD.
The down side is they will eat your rotors. I mean they grind the metal off them so much that they will be done when it's time for new pads.
I also have a RAM 3500 and often tow in the hills. The added stopping force is a fair trade off in rotor life for me - especially when a herd of elk runs out in front of me..
I hope the stock rotors with 50k will last the life of those pads.
