difficulty sourcing brake pads(of all things)
 

i have 1-1/2 thick rotors on my 4500# front dana 60 axle and everywhere i buy fresh pads from end up being to thick to install.. does anyone else have thick rotors and cant find pads that’ll fit? probably have black lung disease now from grinding off excess material just to make’em fit..

Buy chevy 1-ton pads. All the chevy rotors for that Bendix brake caliper are 1.5" thick.

thanks
 

...ya man,needed new rotors anyways because of deep gouges so i just ordered thinner rotors from rock auto and everything fits now.. still it was close fit and couldnt even use the little metal backer shim thingies. just sucks cause this was like the third time ive had my dana apart and not fun!
