Which front disk?

Napa seems to indicate that there are two different rotors for our trucks with 4 wheel drive and the 4,500lb axle. Is that right?

they always try to sell me the thin ones. if they have them in stock (which my store did) compare them and get the thicker ones.

sorry for not having good facts but thats what i did when napa did the same thing with me.

That's the set I bought(the thicker of the two offered). Seem to be decent quality after 5-10k miles.

Before you leave the store look in both boxes!!! may sound trivial BUT
I have a bad habit of opening everything at store,
Napa has Old and new stock with different spec we went through 7 orders to get matched set with same sku number on each Some were vented some were thick Just look at store
Same as Wagner I had another store order me a set. one had vents one didn't he said the were okay to put on miss matched I said Kiss it

My 91 kept warping "OEM" rotors, so I got some good drilled and slotted ones. No more problem with warped rotors.

I use these, very happy with them so far. No warpage/vibrations/squeel etc and they are so far holding up rustwise VERY well.

Can't complain about the price considering how often I had to turn or replace the OEM ones.
My 92 doesn't seem to have the same problem. Strange considering it is an automatic.
