Off an 05 F550 super duty at work (14.5" rotor)

Shockingly...yes

I wish I could say that was rare. But I've seen three rotors like that in the past month. Looks like a ring gear.

Boy, ya dont say?

oh geez, not another one! that has a nice uniform cut though. and the braking surface didn't break from the hub so at least it still worked, a little.

Wow...

nothing like cruising around in an F550 with brakes like that :shock:

wtf???

i drove it lots of times in the fall loaded with muck crap from dredging the lake...brakes never felt weird or made noise :lol:

weird.

Yup, I believe it. Seen it before.

Seen that before on a ford explorer when I worked at the dealer.

that was my first thought...

damn this has been happening alot lately, PEOPLE CHECK YO' BRAKES!! lol

the truck only has like 6500 miles on it too, by the way :lol:

and that happened? not to mention they rusted up like that, that quick?

both? or hanging caliper?

hanging caliper on the drivers side i guess. never pulled though, weird.

and yeah, rusted like that....probably because we mostly only use them in the winter for plowing/salting, only a few times in the summer for hauling dirt/rocks/whatever...we actually used this truck all summer hauling around catch basin blocks to rebuild catch basins, i drove it a lot of that time and never felt anything weird

Thats the Super Duty F550 high friction rotor...
