Surely you have a tough time catching me... 150K miles and still running on factory brake pads!
I might change brake pads by 200K miles... 
Exhaust brakes are really handy!  |
Odometer - 118K when I did the brake job, the fronts were overdue for a brake job by about 2K as they started squealing like a pig. I continued to drive since I knew I was replacing the rotors anyways. The rears still have lots of pad left. The truck had 315/75 rubber when I got it at 56K and I swapped the mud tires for 315/75R17 BFG AT on H2s. So, it the odometer is about 9% off I believe since about 50K. Based on the tread left on the tires when I bought it I would guess it had the larger tires on since about 50K, so equivalent to 125K or so on 1 set of pads. Not bad! I do not have an exhaust brake like you, but I am easy on my truck.
