Just did a pad slap on our trusty '01 Tundra. This truck is awesome; 199K and zero issues.
I never understood how the driver side pads could wear evenly, about half way, and the passenger pads were almost gone. Again, nice and even.
The old pads were the NAPA better pads, hybrid or something. Had about 40K. I surfaced the rotors at the time.
The new pads were the Raybestos E whatever pads. Like $25 at RA. I just lightly filed and greased the contact points and slid them in.
Easy peasy... The pedal is really good now.
The early Tundras like mine had a too small caliper and pad. If I really loaded down the truck or towed much I would upgrade to the later caliper.
But for now this thing needs nothing. All good.
