Hey, I was just wondering how long stock brakes typically hold out? I have 26.5k on the dak and no probs so far. I drive the truck as a commuter in the suburbs, so plenty of stop and go traffic.

And when the time comes, whats a good replacement? Just go with the dodge ones again?

I recently rolled over 82,000 miles on my 2000 Dakota. I've replaced my pads once, at around 51,000. I just took it to the dealer and they slapped on another pair of whatever and they still work fine.

Hope it helps.

Dodge works hard to offer the best products to the public. No aftermarket brakes can touch the ones Dodge puts on your truck......Stick with what Dodge says, and you'll be alright!

boy I can't wait to hear what all the donkey nay-sayers are going to post about this. If you don't rag on the truck the stock stuff is fine. 42000 miles and pad and shoes still look like new.

Hey Artie,

Where did you get your Mopar roof rack. How much did you pay and what was involved in installing it? I have a Glasstite shell on my CC and want to put a canoe up there.

PTownDak,
The roof rack on the truck is a MOPAR that I had installed at the dealer when I bought the truck. I am pretty sure the headliner needs to be removed to install.
The roof rack on the cap is the opt. rack offered thru LEER, and I had that installed when the cap was purchased at the LEER dealer.
I paid dealer cost for both items last November and I really don't know what that is anymore. Wish I could help a little more. Good luck
