2000 Ford F-350 - Mud Truck Maintenance - Safety Session - Four Wheeler Network
Having a mud truck with 10-year old tires and three lug nuts per wheel may be fine for the woods, but when you towing that deathtrap down the highway next to families on vacation, you need to some confidence in your truck. Brakes, fluids, tires, and bearings are some of the most frequently replaced parts and companies like EBC Brakes sell factory replacement parts that not only increase the performance of your rig, they look really cool too. Depensding on your vehicle and driving conditions, EBC Brakes has the exact set-up you need to replace your factory gear. So once we had Fayez Homasi from bigg Boy Auto in West Palm Beach, FL do a quick free inspection on our brakes, we jumped on the EBC website to order some new parts. EBC brake pads and rotors are hand crafted and are designed with a focus on high quality rather than price savings. After reading about all the diffrent styes EBC has available, Fayez recomended we run the GD7340 Sport Series roter which is slotted and dimpled which help them keep cool. These annodized parts also help reduce brake fade while under load which is perfect for a tow rig. For brake pads we chose EBC’s extra duty light-truck and suv pads. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
