I just bought Wagner Severe Duty for my dodge for 32 each for front set and 32 for rear set. They are excellent pads and local guys charges me much more. I have done about 12 sets of front brakes on my Dodge and about 6-7 rears. Best brand I have found by a long shot. Got them on fleabay shipped for that price. Worth a search. It's less than half what local shop charges and no tax.

John,

How are they on rotor wear?

do they bite well?

John Shiels

Bit better than OEM I am happy. Calipers were rebuild twice in 170,000 miles I'll probably do them this time again @ 170,000.

They are very good. As good as OEM. I actually got 100,000 on one rear rotor with OEM them Wagner Severe Duty. They make another cheaper pad called something else so don't get confused. I had a brake job done on the Excursion I'll have to look what I paid from the shop that did it. I just like working on my dooley. Actually the front end cost me 2,600+ to fix after 85,000 miles. Ball joints and some other stuff with the brakes. The others I wiped because I waited to long and steel on rotors isn't good as we all know. Rotors are about 50 bucks even for the rears which are large. I am horrible on brakes and the truck always weights about 9,000+ with all the tools. I usually stock brakes and rotors for my truck in the garage. I said I need some now and checked fleabay. Seller had 15,000 + sales. I'll post when I get them. Even if you don't do your own I like Wagner Serve Duty pads and ask for them on the Excursion.

put wagners on my dually as well and they bite great when towing my 40ft enclosed, were less then $60 i think

John Shiels

for frront and rear?

GM spells it "dooley" no clue which way is right? I'll have to check Ford and Chrysler.

dvandentop

it was just for the fronts.

dooley looks dumb so i never spell it that way
