Best bet would be calling the 800 # and asking them.

+1

I checked the good sensors wire/plug for brittleness/cracking, looked good.

Removed it, cleaned with rubber/plastic cleaner, then treated with dressing.

Bump for the thread. Pads, rotors, and sensors are all in as of today. Thursday is my off day so that's when I will be doing the job. Ive been seeing a lot that I need some noise free gunk and some grease. Can I get these from my local auto store such as auto zone, advanced, napa?

Depending on the products you used who knows. I never used any noise free gunk or grease. Wish you success....

Noise free gunk is a band-aid solution if you have noisy pads. Wouldn't use it.

You do need high temperature caliper grease, for the ears of the pads where they touch the calipers (not the back). Available from any reputable auto parts shop.

Do not grease the pins, they are designed to be installed dry.

Hey guys just got done putting on the new pads and rotors. Will post pics later. There is no squeal or any noise at all while driving. However I haven't bed them in yet and when I come to a complete stop there is a very noticeable noise from the pads on the rotors. Coming to a stop nothing, but when the truck comes to a complete stop there is a loud noise. Is that normal until I bed them in?

Well now you got me worried. Also my check brake linings message still hasn't went away yet. Everything is plugged in and set up exactly the way its supposed to be.
