Bad brake dust

[Bucko]

I recently installed ceramic pads on my Ford F150, as I no longer tow with it. In the month I've been driving it with these new pads, no brake dust at all.

I use it. Really works. Amazon

Sounded good until I saw the $44 price.

Since the day I purchased my front breaks have a lot of dust!! I said something to the dealer and they said oh its new its nothing to worry about . Well I have had it for a little over a year and its still the same black dust it looks very bad and is not normal .

I HATE that about my BSBB. Been doing it since day 1. Drives me nuts Even entry level ceramic pads will help.

I've had my Badlands over year and half and no dust and I'm not one that washes my car every week. Maybe the grey wheels hide it better than others.

Don't touch your wheels or you will have one clean stripe where you finger touched!

I've read here that BB's with the adaptive cruise pkg have a different braking system and the dust isn't bad at all. Maybe someone can elaborate. My OBX dust is actually surprisingly low and I have the adaptive cruise pkg.

Those with adaptive cruise were not subject to the recall that required replacement of the front brakes with higher-friction alternatives.

Yep.

No, see pic.

You do not have lane centering. You have lane keeping.

Lane centering is only available with Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist+

Lane centering along adaptive cruise control will give you a form of self driving.

Lane keeping will just bounce you back and forth trying to keep you in a marked lane.

The reason I asked, your vehicle has vacuum assist power brakes. Ford issued a recall because if the power brake assist were to fail, the driver may not be able to stop the vehicle in a predetermined distance. The front brake pads were changed out to offer additional friction when applying. The result is more brake dust.

Vehicles with Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist+ have an electric brake assist. Vehicles with this unit were never recalled for brake issues.[b/]

Ok, I’ll bite.

So I wiped across two large sections. No excessive brake dust. I’ve owned many cars that were really bad, but this isn’t one of them. Actually even cleaner than I expected since I’m not one that obsesses over a shiny car and it doesn’t get bathed often.

Not sure why mine isn’t bad. I do not have adaptive cruise control. I am pretty heavy on the pedals, but that’s been a constant over my life of driving.

Wowser! That price will buy you a set of front brake pads.
