My '01 is just shy of 100K miles. The stock (original? unknown.) rotors are
warped, and I get quite a bit of the front end wanting to waggle around when
braking. The drums might still be ok, and I could maybe have them turned, but
I got a good deal on some new ones, so I figure why not replace them too.
I drive about 5K miles a year. My goal is to make 200K on this truck. That's
going to take a while.

Yeah, I see that here too. Sometimes it's really pronounced, other times not
bad at all.

You'd have issues with these. But beyond the fact that they're worn out and
need replacing, they just seem kinda weak to me. When I step on the pedal, I
don't want the truck to s...t.....o........p, I want it to *STOP*.
