Sorry, have to agree with Steve on this one. Far too many reports on
this very list of brake rotor issues to be blamed on wheel torque
proceedures or just fluke instances. Geez, just compare the stopping
power to any number of other vehicles will clearly show that the brakes
on Gen III DAKs are undersized for the truck. DC blew it on this one and
the reason I ragged about it a couple of days ago is because the dealers
are seeing tons of these issues, but looking for an out rather than
putting the customer first! Wonder if they handled their Mercedes
clientel in the same manner how far it would get them?
