That might have been me Rascal. I've been running those pads on my 98 for
nearly a year now and in excess of 15K miles. They have worn very little and
still stop great with little brake dust. Dang it, that's 2 pieces of good
advice I've given you. The PFC pads and the Roadmaster. I might have to
start charging you, say a couple bottles of that special water you drink?

Based on the recommendation of someone on the list recently, I bought the
Performance Friction Pads from AZ and they (so far) work just great. My
Raybestos PG Plus only lasted 18,000 miles and I do not do any towing,
mostly highway miles. Whomever gave me that suggestion, thank you, by the
way.

Hey Bill, outta curiosity, what pads did you buy from AutoZone? AZ
sells Value(crap)craft, Albany (Albany are being replaced by Duralast
pads - probably the same thing but in different boxes) We also sell
Duralast Gold - (stainless backing shims, designed as direct OE
replacements), Morse Ceramics, Performance Friction Carbon Metallics.
The reason I ask is I have zero personal experience with AZ's pads. I
have had customers complain about the ValueCrap (no surprise there) and
a few complain about the Albany pads. Biggest complaints about the
Albanys were heavy dusting and so-so wear life.
I picked up a set of PF Carbon's for the Ram, and I'm going to be
putting them on as soon as I get around to pulling the rotors and having
them resurfaced. Pads are getting thin and its not stopping as well as
it used to.
