Hate to bug you all again and hope I'm not opening a can of worms but
what are decent brake pads for my 1500 1996 Ram PU? I bought Bendix
rotors and brakes last time but I'm a bit confused about the metalic,
semi metalic, ceramic, etc. Is there a prefered? I tow a boat
occasionally and plow in the winter.

Thanks, Steve

Most ceramic pads are not rated for towing, so I
would (and did) avoid those.
One of my favorites is a carbon fiber pad from
Performance Friction. Autozone usually has them in
stock.
I tried a set of Hawk SUV pads on my truck last
time. At first, I was disappointed in their
performance. But now that they've got a few miles on
them, they are quite good.
