yeah homes you need to sit down and go through that bitch, you dont even know half the features your truck has. In the time I worked and discount tire I could reprogram the TPMS, oil, etc with my eye closed (not that I did, but I figured **** out just playing with it). Its what I like to call 'a neck up thing'.

as for the brakes, I've heard on like the 07+ they're total garbage. My truck has 96k on the chassis and I havent touched the brakes aside from pulling them for spindle and spring swap. I have had a leaky left caliper tho, I may just need that bronze washer replaced tho.

You're driving a Crew cab on what appears to be 24 or 26"s. Of course you're needing new brakes.
How soon do you start to slow down for a stop?

Ive had 24's on my 05 RC gmc truck for about a year now, and now 22's, and some 17's, and no problem with brakes or anything thank god, Ive done some serious hard braking in the past bc of racing etc still good. Stock alarm always suck but i guess they do the job for a stock truck. I luv my rc interior the NBS inside dont like very much.
