power slot rotors on 1 ton axles?

[Klef72K5]

Anyone running Power Slot rotors on their dana 60 and 14ff (rear disc conversion)? I was curious if the 1 1/4 ton axles off the m1008 have the same id as the 3/4 tons? I'm needing for some part numbers if so. I'm trying not to turn the rear hub if possible. Thanks!

I had them on my 2500hd and they sucked, the stockers worked better in my opinion anyway....

I heard if you run them to use hawk pads. do you recall what you used?

Not hawks, we sold them where i worked in high school and hated the brake dust all over the wheels, if its the same pad as then they were cheap and real soft....

Dont take it from me tho, theres gota be someone here that can help or steer you better than me.

I had cross drilled and slotted rotors. They cost way too much for what they improved, which wasn't much. I would think if you spent a lot of time in mud, or running high temps on a race track they are good. For everyday use, I would stick to more affordable stock rotors.

no good in the mud. the holes and slots fill up with junk.

if you live in the rust belt the holes rust shut in aa year or so of drivin.

best option is new or re finished rotors and good set of brake pads. most pads are made to last and be quiet and no dust this = less performance.

at napa and others thay have a hd option thay will eat the rotors a bit faster . but thay will grip and clam for stoping. yes thay will make dust and be a bit noisy and not last as long but you cant have it all.

i think its performance friction brand

Another problem with drilled is they crack from the holes. Mine were starting to form hairline cracks. They went along with the 1/2 ton axles

I have powerslot rotors on the 14ff in my 79 c20. I also run hawk high performance street compound brake pads all the way around. I like the rotors. The slots are only milled part way into the rotor, so it leaves a pocket for the hot gasses, but shouldn't make it as weak as cutting all the way through. I do get some brake dust, but the pads grab well when hot and cold and don't seem to chew up the rotors. I have stopped a few heavy trailers with my truck (without trailer brakes) and had no problems. My truck is setup with a ladder rack and tool boxes and averages a weight of 6,500 pounds. I usually get 40-50k miles out of a set of brake pads. I always turn the rotors. The HPS pads on my truck don't make any noise until they start to become worn thin. I don't like squeaky brakes.

My friend tried hawk pads on his vehicles and also liked them.
