Ok, I am going to look into OEM brakes - I don't really have any significant complaints, but dont have any complaints about the OEM pads. Dusty, yes, but i dont really care about that much... I will trade off clean for safe :)

Only 75k on front pads on a truck that was used otr is not very long service life at all. Especially with the smart transmissions and OE exhaust brakes now.
100k + mi is common for haulers. Even got 80 k out of the fronts on my wife's Ram and she never downshifts to slow down. Just throws it in neutral and clamps on the binders!
Why would you replace the rotors if they are not warped or not serviceable? It's not like you will get better braking just cause the rotors are new.
I wouldn't even reccomend having them turned unless they are warped. You can scuff them up when installing the new pads and the the new pads will bed in fine.
