My older trucks (99-04) killed pads and rotors fast.
On the 15' with these big brakes, I should get 80k out of them. I do HATE the brake dust from the factory pads on my 15' though. Won't be using them again.

No, my 2012. Pfft my '15 doesn't even have 12k on it yet, I'm daily driving the cummins right now. The '15's have the same brakes as the '12's don't they though? I'm afraid I'll just run into the same prob. But we're also talking I'm putting the abs to work as I try and come off 60-70mph to avoid ripping axles out due to "over night" flash floods "altering" the road... All that dust I'm carrying behind goes rrrrright into the brakes lol. We're also talking stock pads.

I don't see how you guys go through brakes, rotors and calipers so fast... I'm crowding 130k on stock parts... That includes some aggressive driving, mud, sand, lots of county/gravel roads, couple burnouts, boosted 4wd launches, a couple nasty burnouts and even towing. Majority of the people I know have no problem getting well over 100k miles on brakes....

Stop and go traffic doesn't help much either... Also Tucson drivers are horrid, they love panic stopping after lane changing in front of you...
