I just replaced the front brake pads on my ?97 T-100 at 175,000 miles. Is this in any way close to to typical? I think my dealer thought I was pulling their leg. :) The price for the parts was higher than non-OEM, but considering the history it should be worth it...I hope. BTW I did the work myself.
40k miles is more typical. good job driving!
I don't believe it either! 175,000 miles! Do you STOP, EVER??!!
You must have a 5-speed...and drive VERY Gently!

That 175,000 was written after a long night at work...I meant to write
92,000. It?s on a four-wheel drive automatic. I have driven nothing but stick shifts up to that point, though. Maybe that helped. Sorry about the number typo. :?
I typically get 150K on my brakes.
Yes, I drive a manual. IMHO, the advantage is not down shifting to brake (I never do that). It's that drivers of a manual tend to anticipate traffic ahead so they don't have to shift, or brake.
let's see... which is cheaper - brake pads or a clutch?

Double-clutch and there is zero clutch wear when downshifting. Got 250K on my original clutch right now.
