I had a set of ceramic pads on the front of the K1500, perhaps twenty years ago.
I absolutely hated them.
Poor stopping power, but they lasted forever. I was thrilled when they FINALLY wore-out. Replaced 'em with whatever semi-metallic pads NAPA was peddling at the time.
I suppose that ceramic pad formulations have come a long way since then...maybe my experience isn't relevant any more.
My 1998 K1500 4wd needs brakes soon. The brakes work ok but a few months ago I had hard stop after a idiot pulled out in front me going about 60. Now when I come to a stop the truck shakes a bit like the rotors are warped. The metallic pads are about worn out and I bought some carquest pro platinium pads for a good price and I'd like to put them on to help w the dust on my wheels. I don't much towing. Would these pads work ok on my truck after they were burnished or should just put organic pads on and rub the dust off my front wheels?
