Having the caliper bolt torque ratings and such would keep me from having to guess. TIA, dave   Peter J.

I would just do pads only unless you are over 60K and there is obvious wear on the rotors.   Dave Van Haren (Plain2000dii) Member Username: Plain2000dii Post Number: 45 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 02:08 pm:    Pete, we're at 46k and the dealer just inspected the truck, found rears at just above minimum, pads @3/32" and rotors @1.20"? can't really tell from service report. Anyway they wanted $530 to replace-yikes! so I'll do it meself. really just need torques from caliper mount bolts/nuts, which ever it turns out to be.
