maybe GM supplied the vehicles in OHIO/MICHIGAN with the platinum brake componets....

the metals used on my vehicle are poor/low quality..

I'm up to 161,000 on my original pads on my 2002 1500 4.8 Haven't touched the braking system yet.

I know I'm lucky to live in San Diego where rust isn't a concern.. but rush hour every day can't be avoided.

sounds like you have the rusting abs sensor problem. pull the abs sensor and clean the mating surface. next on the rotors you will need to clean all the rust and crud out of the groves that line up with the hole that the sensor goes in to.
