I bought my 2017 Laramie megacab 4x4 white on all black leather interior. I see it as the Lamborghini of trucks! Anyways I’m sort new to this forum, greetings and respects to all viewers and fellow #cummins owner. My question is when do you have to replace your break pads. As in miles. I bought mine with 0 miles I’m down to 22k now. Any fees back is appreciated! Ps. They squeak on days and then it stops.

That would depend entirely on how you drive your truck. Cruise back and forth from coast to coast on the interstates unloaded and they're going to last you a quarter million miles. Max out your payload and do nothing but stop and go up and down hills, and I'll bet you'd be getting close to the squealers already. A quick google will find similar discussions and comments that put replaceable wear levels anywhere between 25,000 and 170,000 miles. Check pad wear when you rotate your tires and you'll be fine.

Well, when they BREAK, then you have to replace them, but if they aren't broken, they can last a long time.

And, squealing pads doesn't mean they are bad or worn out, could just be trash embedded in the material. Google "brake pad bedding" and try that before replacing the pads.

Quarter million??? That's nothing, I don't just drive mine unloaded, I tow heavy a lot and my front pads are still original at 389K, rear pads got replaced when the guide pins corroded and froze up, causing the calipers to stick.

Mine start squeaking when I am in real dusty conditions then clear up. I believe its normal.

Squeaking doesn’t necessarily mean they are worn pads. Sometimes the anti-squeak grease or pad betweeen the caliper and the brake pad back plate has dried out. Add some more and it will go away. It tends to happen if you spray your calipers when you wash the truck.

Hot damn 398k!! I get about 60k miles out of a set before the pad is gone. City driving is rough on a 9000lb truck

Ouch! 70k and my pads still look new. G56 & exhaust brake means I rarely touch the middle pedal.
