Well, I am sitting here getting my to-do list together for once the weather breaks. I want to replace the brake pads, re-pack my Timken bearings, and lube all my caliper slides.
I have everything I need except for the pads.... The ones I was gonna get are the NAPPA Permium UP-7136-M.. But right on the box, is stamped Made in Mexico.. Not that I am saying that there is anything wrong with that, I just prefer to get something made in America, if better, or possible..
Jessie at Kodiak has told me their brake pads were reconfigured about 3 years ago, and are much better..
I also have read that Ceramic pads run cooler than semi metallic, with less dust????
I hate getting too much info while sitting here looking out the window, web surfing, as my Fiver shivers in the 5 degree weather . . .
I need to get replacement brake pads also, looking for the right pad, have not found them yet 🙁

Ron has since responded to my email.. He said that he has been replacing hos with semi metallic pads... Then he said that Kodiak pads are fine...
I purchased Kodiak pads, they are ceramic, I was reading about semi metallic, thus the question...
Where did you purchase your Pads from ?
Direct from Kodiak.. ceramic pads,
They were $50.00 for an axle part number was DBC-250-CERM-PAD
Thx, I ordered off Amazon, same Kodiak Brake Pads (KODIAK 7k-8k DISC Ceramic Friction Pads, DBC-250-CERM-PAD) (after shipping costs and such, they were basically the same price and I did not have to enter all my shipping, billing and CC info again. 🙂

Good to know, especially since we can support the ROG by using the Amazon tab listed to the top left... I will see if my order shipped yet, if not I will cancel and place with Amazon
I thought that Ron said that they were GM Delco brake pads
Yes, the folks at Kodiak said to cross reference 1988 Cadillac Deville, fronts.
He had told me, but I could not find that info for anything....
From Ron when I asked him.
The universal# is MKD215.
yup, that I what I found in my papers... I could not find it at first
