Easy there Skeeter Dude. I don't have a problem with anyone making a living. But I do have a problem with people selling me work I don't need or treating me like I am stupid. I bought OE Pads for $40.00 (Bendix Brand) There was at least 10K miles left on my original pads, and the rotors were no where needing replacement. Replacing the pads took about 1 hour of my time total and pads that I didn't need yet cost $40. So I did what they wanted $350 for for $40. I am sick and tired of people acting like you don't know what is going on just because you asked them to do some work(which by the way I didn't ask them for a price. they said I needed it during the inspection.) So you can keep your attitude, cause I got a big enough one for both of us!

How did you find out OE is Bendix. When I asked 3 different dealer's they all acted like it was top secret, and said they didn't know.

I've have had 2 different set's from O'riely's, and niether was worth a crap. I had the heavy duty, and then the extreme duty. I'm deffinatly looking for something else. I got 72k out of the OE's, and they still had some left. Guess I'll put oe's back on and deal with the squeling.

Honestly I don't know that Bendix is the OE. I was told (doesn't mean it is the truth) that these were OE replacements. I bought them from Advanced Auto Parts. They are semi metallic Lifetime Warranty. This means that they will probably eat the rotors. SO far they are working well and no noise. I have been trying to break them in easy and they have not had to really stop the truck hard yet.
