Heavy Duty Brakes?
I am prepping a "new to me" TV and looking for some pre-season advice. My tow vehicles have always been trucks I bought new, so was very aware of prior maintenance etc. My new TV is a 3500 Silverado...

Kind of agree. You may loose service life but in that case Of Hawk pads, the performance is much greater.
In my own application, I will gladly give up 75% (exaggerated) of service life for 25% better braking.
Pads are relatively cheap and in an emergency, I'm not concerned with saving $30~$60 bucks. Just want to stop fast.
If I put many hundreds of thousands of miles on my rig I may feel different but with only 5~6K a year and lots of mountain towing, excellent brakes are a good investment to me.
