Hes not the only one I know that has brake issues with them. Hes 44 years old, and drives the truck like a normal person. The brakes on some of the older models are VERY small for the size of the truck, and its natural that a small brake trying to stop that amount of weight will have less of a life span.
Just putting in my .02 and tryin to help out, but do whatever the fuck ya want. Doesnt bother me 1 bit at the end of the day.
