Re: Brake parts compatability F350 vs. E350
Bringing this thread back to the top once again. I bought the van with 125k mi on it and it now has 140k on it. I need new tires (probably going with BFG KO2). My brakes are also making a little noise and I don't think they've been done since before the 125k mark. I don't know a lot, but have read enough to know:
1) I want to figure out what's needed with the brakes before I go buy tires
2) I want more stopping power if I can get it. pushing 10K lbs on the rig and I am fairly certain the OEM brakes were not designed for that
According to Joyce at Quigley, I have:
'98 E350 V10
16" OEM wheels
Front: Ford 60 front axle, 2WD OEM pads, F350 rotors Raybesto 66476/Dayton D4801
Rear: Dana 44, E350 Pads, F350 rotors
I am not exactly clear on why 2 part #'s for the front rotors? Raybesto may be current replacement part #? Hopefully I've provided enough info.
Again, not super knowledgable on brakes, the various components - caliper, hubs, wheels, rotors, pads, lines, etc... and compatibility. Based on what I've read, each rig is different with unique options/limitations. I am just looking to know what my options are before I go talk to a brake shop or buy tires. I would prefer not to buy all new wheels and keep this project as simple as possible, but I do want better stopping power if I can get it for a reasonable price.
It appears others have done some upgrades with new pads/rotors staying with the 16" wheels. I know the collective knowledge exists on this forum. Looks like Ramsey has some ideas...
I appreciate any feedback/guidance on what my options might be and things I should consider.
Thanks!
