Howdy peps.
A few weeks ago I replaced the stock front rotors and pads with stock rotors and pads.
Not a big deal really. I do Lots of in city driving with lots of stop and go. and there are times Im in a hurry. So, I brake late and harder. But not wacky late and not really that hard. no squealing.
I noticed that if I brake late and hard say 3 times over the course of less then a minute that the front rotors get hot enough to start a nice hot brake smell and in 1 case I started smoking the front right brake pad.
Am I running into a crappy design and should I be thinking about that brake upgrade I see at the top? The old ones I pulled off didn't do this. They were worn right out but they weren't in good shape when I bought the truck.
