A couple of weeks ago when switching to my summer wheel/tire combo I noticed my rear rotors were falling apart on my 2018 2500 6.4L with just under 27k on it. I've done some moderate towing, heaviest load would have been 10k max.
Where the chunks are missing is roughly a 1/16" of a inch deep. Pads were slightly chewed up but had well over 3/4s life left.
What should have been a hourish job took 5 hour's. Driver's side took about an hour and a half. Parking brake pads were fighting me.
Passenger side, I was ready just to trade my truck in for a new one. It fought my wife and I every Inch of the way. Hour into some of the parking brake hardware let go. So now the parking brake was really fighting us. Adjuster was froze. So with pry bar's and a sledge and every ounce of strength we finally beat it off. So had to do a passenger side parking brake delete for now.
