Scott;
See if you can find Performance Friction brake pads for your truck. They
are very good pads, particularly at high temperature.

Subject: towing
I've got 2 concerns about my tow vehicle this year- 1) The rear leaf
springs are starting to sag under weight-is it better to add leafs or is
it
okay to use air shocks. 2) The brakes overheated at least twice on my
trip
to the point I could not get the truck and trailer safely stopped- once
I
was headed for the back of a tractor trailer- thank goodness he started
moving cause I ran out of room. Considering the distance I drive to get
to
Maxton I feel like I'm taking an unnecessary chance with substandard
brakes,
yet the truck-a 1998 Dakota-V8- can easily pull the weight. What brand
of
brakes do some of you use on your tow vehicles to get better braking?
Scott
