When I saw "88 mph vibration" I thought there might be lightning bolts across the front and you always arrive in 1955. I would love to see how you mounted the camera to the impact. I only do small motors but after watching, I decided I need one of those pad compressors for the once a year one of the cars needs brakes.

A very thorough and enjoyable video. Excellent attention to small, but makes a difference details. The gradual mating of new rotors and pads is particularly noteworthy. Not a lot of service shops will do that.

[@rednax1396]

Learned a few things today, shimming the pistons when compressing another one if there's more than one off the rotors and the science behind why you need to brake steady when new pads are fitted and not come to a full stop or hard braking until enough braking time has passed in order to that the pad and rotor are keyed to each other. Brilliant show, TY Oh and you got me doing * gravity, thanks for that lol

FYI, I have found that the ceramic brake pads last longer and leave a lot less brake dust on the wheels.

[@robsteingruber9488]

Big fan of Power Stop Extreme products. I had a 2012 Expedition that was hell on stock rotors, constantly warping. Once it was out of the warranty, I put on a set of their slotted and cross drilled rotors and ceramic pads. Problem solved, problem staying solved. 10/10 will use them again.

[@jameskennedy673]

Ray last week I had to put new pads, front & rear on my 2012 Ram 1500 two wheel drive. The truck had 35k miles on it when I bought it in 2016. I put 100k miles on it, the pads were wore down to the thickness of a quarter. I didn’t know that it had dual piston aluminum calipers, had to go buy a compressing tool, before my vehicles had single piston cast iron calipers, I used a 6” C-clamp & old pad to compress the piston. Ray I’ve learned a bunch by watching your videos. I didn’t buy caliper hangers because I had a heavy duty wire clothes hanger. I’m glad that you done this video so I could comment plus thank you. P.S. today I’m watching Rainman on a rainy Texas day🙂🙂. Keep’m coming

[@marcschlaufman5568]

This video was perfectly timed for me. I'm doing the breaks on my 2015 ferd f150 next week.

Be careful when doing your brake job, most front pad sets for your truck have an inner and outer pad, they are usually shaped differently, and they can be easily mixed up. Ask me how I know.

[@donmoore481]

60+ years ago when I first started working on cars our shop had a bowling ball sized steel vessel with a hose coming out the bottom and a filler cap on the top. You uncapped the top and poured in a quart of brake fluid After sucking all of the old fluid from the master cylinder, one end of the hose was then fastened to the master brake reservoir with an airtight seal. The vessel was then pressurized to about 10-15 pounds, you used the same procedure you used here to bleed each wheel catching the old fluid in an open container using a clear vinyl tubing until the old fluid went clear. A lot less fluid wasted and it took about half the time for the same result, and the apparatus cost less than 50 bucks. The new way is neat, but our "old" was was more efficient and a lot cheaper.

[@FB-111A]

I absolutely love watching your videos. If I had a dealership who had a gallery allowing customers to watch technicians service the vehicle I would go to that dealership for sales and service. I am so tired of the service writers emphasizing wiper blades, and cabin air filters when my question was about brakes and radiator fluids. I drive a 2015 Highlander with 100,000 miles which I purchased new and regularly park in my garage.

[@jrt77339]

I have the Power Stop towing system on my F150 and pads on the rear. I tow a 27' Travel Trailer and have been happy they them. No warping of their front drilled and slotted rotors. Pad dust also seems less, but that is just subjective.

[@stevenrice47]

I have the exact same Powerstop Extreme Carbon Fiiber pads on my '16 Ram 1500. They took a lot longer than normal to get bedded in, but once they did, the truck can stop so much better verse OEM. Word of warning: during the pad bedding process, the pad will chatter and make a ton of noise. I was very concerned. It took about 500 to 600 miles to get fully bedded in. That brake bleed machine is awesome.

Brake fluid that I'm used to has a yellow tinge to it, first time I've seen clear brake fluid was watching your channel.

[@jdadon2000]

I did that by accident. My first attempt to change rotors and pads as a do it myself with KZbin videos way back when. Great step by step but I did all rotors off and one at a time pads and fluid exchange. Did brake pump on one side and rotor off still. My 4 hour brake job became day and half cause my caliper was difficult to fix when piston came out. Learned fast on what not to do. Extra cost to purchase a caliper. Oh and over tightening the bleeder valve broke and had to buy a replacement valve too. It was expensive mistake to me. Oh yeah day and half was cause when I got my caliper found it was for a dodge not my Pontiac. Same part number but wrong part in the box. Just got to love o’Reilly’s.

[@pabranva]

That BG story is funny because I've been watching for about 2 weeks and I'm already "Starting ze engine" all the time! 🤣

[@guhammer261]

Dear Ray, first of all, I love your videos and like many others, even watching a break job on your channel is kind of fun even though I've done many of them on my own. That being said, please allow me to deliver a well meant piece of advice to you about carbon fibre break pads. Indeed the carbon fibre is embedded into the friction material among other components which are not used in conventional brake pads. The upside of such pads is usually that they do not produce as much black break dust as conventional pads do; i.e. your rims will look cleaner for a longer period of time. In terms of break performance they are not worse than conventional pads, at least not in terms of normal use. Don't think they'd be suitable for race track. And last not least, my impression from using several sets of them on my own cars was that they wear slower and also cause less wear on the rotors. However there is a downside to them too: The friction material is building a so called 'transfer layer' on the rotors. This is by intention and the transfer layer is actually enhancing the friction between pad and rotor, thus creating the break power. (After a few hundred miles, one can see the transfer layer as a slighty blueishly layer on the metal of the rotor. As said, nothing wrong with that, that is intended to happen and caused by the ingredients to the friction material of the pads.) The problem starts when the transfer layer becomes mechanically disturbed (micro cracks in the surface). Water will go underneath the transfer layer and cause corrosion on the rotor surface which will not be ground away by the pads when breaking as the transfer layer is still covering it on the top. The corrosion can then go deeper and deeper and by the time the transfer layer will becom weak and break away, the corrosion of the rotor surface is so advanced that the pads can not grind it away anymore. The rotors will develop deep grooves over time and become unusable. On my own cars it did not always happen... in some cases the rotors survived 2 or 3 sets of pads until they became due to be changed by reaching their minimal dimensions in thickness. But sometimes the effect as described above did kick in quite early. So long story short: I stopped using carbin fibre pads and live with dirty rims especially on the front axle. The carbon fibre pads do not break better (as maybe implied by marketing as everybody is thinking of carbon rotors in ultra high performance cars which is a completely dfferent story and has nothing to do at all with these break pads). And I avoid the risk of loosing new rotors prematurely by inappropriate wear patterns between pad and rotor.

Harbor Freight has (and on the internet amazon) very bright and low power use LED "shop lights" that resemble florescent in design.

I used that power stop brake kit on a Ram 1500, they were the best brakes I ever had and lasted the longest. I used the drilled and slotted but was looking at the selection you made for the f150 and the"bedding" method or "burnishing" is a little more complicated for the power stop brake especially when you go with the coated rotors and you did. I don't know how much it will matter but it might be worth checking it out next time.

Sometimes there’s 2 different size pads and you have to remember which one goes on the inside and then other size on the outside, also the rotors may not be wobble free could be warped from the manufacturer, the bolts could be loctite in placed and if you don’t have air tools the calipers could be pain to get off.
