With BOTH shoes not only well worn, but cracked as well!! Lower half of drivers side also pulling away from steel backing.

Left as is for now, since I don't have the cash to get repaired.
Planning on doing that in 2 weeks, when I get paid next. Get bonus pay then as well.
So, I'm gonna have everything done then.

Can let truck sit till then, if I need to. Since my folks have an extra vehicle, I can use it if necessary.
Gonna run me close to $400 to have front/rear brakes replaced, drums/rotors turned, if needed.
And if within specs.

All I know right now, is this one's gonna hurt!
the front pads are so easy to replace it's not even funny...you can buy the 'good' pads for like $50 and save money on the front end.

edit: and u can get the rotors turned for about $10 each if needed.
