Default Re: disposable brake rotors?

Yeah...go figure. '03 1500 Chevy truck....100,000 miles with 4 wheel disc brakes...and still had 60% on the original brakes when I traded it in. New '07 Silverado LT (front discs and rear drums)....had to replace the right front rotor at 3,000 miles and now I believe the front disc are both warped!

I asked the service manager why Chevy did the switcheroo...and he said it saved them a few bucks....

Other than the brake problem...I love the new truck

Rear discs in salt country aren't such a good idea it seems.
