Side note, did you had a jackstand under that truck outside the photo?? I have heard too many horror stories of guys leaving their truck on a jack only to have the jack fail, and they end up under an axle, or pinned against a wall.

Originally posted by Fordnandez View PostThat is disappointing to hear. Are you sure you got the right kit for your year/make/model? I know that is a long shot and it would be shocking if the wrong model would fit but stranger things have happened. The only reason I ask is because a bunch of the reviews on Amazon said to make sure you are ordering the correct kit by double checking part number on Power Stop's web site. I guess there is some common mistakes that happen with sellers and part numbers.

I do spend quite a bit of time on construction sites and on dirt roads going to my lease that gets pretty sloppy when it rains. To be perfectly honest I didnt think about the drilled sections getting filled with mud. I guess I will see how it goes and report back after some time in the mud.
I have belts and suspenders for supporting the truck. I have a set of jack stands that I can not recall the weight rating on them so I got one jack stand not in the picture and the jack under the truck with a little bit of pressure on it also. Technically the jack can shift so I made sure the majority of the weight was on the stands. I am 99% confident that they are at least 2 ton stands which should be sufficient for the truck. I am with you on the horror stories. Many folks have lost their life that way. Even with both of these in place I made dang sure that I was never directly under the rotor in the event that the truck fell off.

Per tech support, we did all the things “they usually do when customers report this problem”. Look at the Amazon 1 star reviews for pictures. I’d go back to stock OEM before using z36’s. Don’t bet your life on the Z36. They may fail at the worst time.
By no means am I questioning your experience and I appreciate you sharing your experience. Also i am not trying to say that I have found a great combination of components to make the best brake kit ever available. If I had the budget to get a kit that has more pistons in the caliper I would have been all over it because there is no question that this is the way to go. I just dont understand how 97 out of 100 folks have no issues with performance but 3 do. Maybe that is acceptable manufacturing tolerances for deviations......... obviously I am speculating now.

I understand. I wasn’t trying to dis your post. I just wanted people to have another view point from my experience. My first set of pads fell apart after 2 months and 8000 miles during a hard brake on 59 and almost caused an accident. I’m not the only one who had the issue. Hopefully no one else has any problems.

Your experience is scary to say the least. Have you owned that truck since it was new? The only reason I ask is because I used to work at a salvage yard and some of the stuff some of the shops/car lots rigged up to "fix" vehicles was almost unbelievable.
