Front Pads and Rotors
For a 96 3500 2wd. All the places I called needed the GVW and whether it has rear abs or 4 wheel abs. The truck has a 10500kg GVW and just rear abs the pads are regular price like $48 but the rotors are with the hubs and cost $260 a piece. Is it possible to change just the rotor and not the hub as well? Is there a cheaper way to replace the rotors? I've never had the front end of these trucks apart so I don't know how they are

2wd rotors are much more expensive than 4wd because the bearings aren't removable.
But at least 2wd bearings can be repacked and last longer than the "lubed for life" 4wd hubs.

Rotors and pads for me. $135 apiece for NAPA drilled/slotted rotors and $70 for HD pads....97 4wd 3500 rear ABS. I know the hubs are expensive....and some day they are next...ouueouch.

about how long do these rotors and pads last? the reason I ask is because I buy the cheaper stuff and get about a year and a half out of the pads

My stock rotors barely made it to 50k, their Brembo replacements have close to 200k and look brand new.
I usually get about 50-75k out of a set of Hawk pads.
