[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1030801, member: 52972"] I agree with Eddie, I prefer superior stopping power and not worry about brake dust on the wheels....just wash the truck and wheels more often. Most or your braking is done by the front brakes and why you see many vehicles with front-disc and rear-drum brakes....so it is very common for front brakes to throw off more dust. I also agree with Todd Z that it would not hurt to flush your old brake fluid.....something you should do with every brake job, or every 2-3 years. Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air and will eventually settle in the lowest part of the braking system...the calipers and/or brake cylinders, where it starts corroding and pitting the piston bores. It also turns from water to steam under hard braking and can lead to uneven braking an overall poor brake performance. ....Rich [/QUOTE]
