[QUOTE="nikhsub1, post: 1871880, member: 22952"] To add to this thread - I have the first gen alcons with the 2 bolt mounts... anyway, I just replaced my pads. The OE alcon pads had about 15k miles on them when 1 of the 4 pads had the wear indicator worn down. The other 3 pads still had a bit of life left, I probably could have squeezed 3-5k miles out of them but my OCD was buggered. Alcon now has a new pad compound (in addition to the one that comes with the brakes) that apparently lasts 30% to 40% longer and has slight less stopping power. This is the replacement I went for. Got them installed yesterday, will report back with some time with them. They are only a few bucks more too. The odd thing is, no slot for wear indication on these and also, the backside of the pad is a clear sticker. You peel off the sticker paper and I was told this is for anti squeal. [URL]https://alconusa.com/collections/brake-kit-spare-parts/products/raptor-f-150-tacoma-replacement-front-pads-low-wear[/URL] See the pad on the left, wear indicator is gone. For some reason this caliper had mismatched wear, I think the worn pad was defective... [ATTACH=full]390996[/ATTACH] New pads installed - you must remove the entire caliper from the bracket to get the pads out - makes it much more time consuming, have to add loctite etc. [ATTACH=full]390997[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
