Disc brakes (rotors and pads)

Some trucks are now equipped with disc brakes. Unlike most drum brake designs that have a separate, external automatic or manual slack adjuster, disc brakes are equipped with an internal, automatic, wear-adjusting system that is located inside the sealed unit. If your truck is equipped with disc brakes, consult the owner’s manual for more information.
