Brake discs

OK, I need some quality brake discs. So far all the china crap I've gotten do nothing but warp. Discs use to outlast pads on my truck. Now I have to turn them several times during the winter.

Hmm, well I'm pretty sure they are all made in china!! I would check your rear brakes, make sure they are working good. You shouldn't have a problem, maybe adjust your driving style a little. I have autozone rotors on 3 of my first gens with 0 issues..

Make sure your calipers aren't sticking.....

Make sure the rims are right for the truck, too (don't ask me how I know to check that......lol)

Make sure you use the extra thick rotors for a one ton.
The thinner 3/4 ton rotors will warp, as will turned down heavy duty ones.
