Mine don't even bite on the complete rotor and work just fine with 38's. It doesn't stop like a sports car, but it's a great big truck. I've never been convinced that a few extra lbs of centrifugal force on the wheels makes that much difference on a 8000lb truck anyway.

41,000 miles with original pads and plenty more to go.
lasvegash2, I have honestly never heard of anyone replacing brakes on the H2 anywhere near every 7000 miles!
Something else must be wrong. I would talk to the Dealer about that.

Re: front brakes upgrade?
Phil I agree with You on brake situation. My rig has not got allot of miles on it. But I think many of the poor stopping could be solved, not counting slowing down, is to add steel brake lines to hold down on the brake fade.
