What brand of brake pads do you prefer?

Just bought the powerstop extreme for towing. Heard great things, haven't installed them yet though

You'll be very happy with them.

Iv had the Wagner oex on my truck for about 6 months now. My wheels are completely black after a few weeks. And I still squeak. Stopping power is great, but the brake dust is so bad.

Yep!.......same for me!..........no more Wagner here.....

Dumb question here... but --> does all of this convert to HD trucks as well? I have a 2500 (6.4L) and I'm coming to the end of my pads I believe. I don't really tow but will hook up a utility trailer from time to time. I do however like to carry around normal stuff in the bed of the truck (if that matters) like my dual-sport or quad.

I'm on the lookout for pads that DON'T dust. I don't care about price. As long as they stop good and DON'T fricken dust my wheels all up.

109k miles on my 2015 Ram 1500. As far as I know, still on the factory pads. I have put 80k on them myself.

I have used Wagner thermoquiets on other vehicles I have owned, and had good results.

However, thinking about OE's since they have lasted as they have.

What brand do you use?

IF you expect to get the same mileage from OE pads, you must use OE rotors at the same time! AND you must bed in the pads/ rotors as per factory service information! I'd also recommend that you flush the brake fluid.
