Question front pads and rotors

Ok so it's time for rotors and pads on the dually. Do you think I should use a good premium napa rotors and pads or go with a performance drilled/slotted rotors,pemium pads off the internet from brakeperfomance.com. would the drilled/slotted rotors be a upgrade on the dually?

Same thing that makes your truck run better after you change the oil.

oh ok my wife actually had a car when I first met her that would run like crap when it was time for an oil change. After you changed the oil it would run like a champ till it was time to change it again. I would not belive it if I did not see it with my own two eyes.

i just did all the research on rotors for my w350 dually. i wanted to go with cross drilled rotors but found that on any thing that carries or pulls a heavy load cross drilled rotors are no good. the rotors will crack around the drilled holes. slots are ok though. i just went with napa oe replacement rotors. have not even bolted them on yet. i am now looking into some cryo treated rotors for the future.
