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...

What is your regimen for these items?
IMO most shops that push free brake inspections do poor on the fine points of a top notch brake service. Just replacing the pads/rotors is not a "complete" brake service.
If a 4lb. hammer is needed to get brake pads out of caliper -they are not working properly and a large amount of work will be necessary to get everything moving freely again.
Thank you for the detailed response.
