Proper maintenance of your 2020 International LT's braking system is paramount for safety and efficiency, especially given the demands placed on commercial vehicles. This guide provides essential specifications and considerations for brake pads and rotors.
How to choose pads
Choosing the right brake pads for your International LT involves understanding the different material types and their ideal applications:
-
Ceramic Pads: Known for their clean operation, low dust, and quiet performance, ceramic pads are often a good choice for vehicles that prioritize comfort and appearance. However, they may not offer the same initial bite or high-temperature fade resistance as semi-metallic pads, which is crucial for heavy-duty trucks.
-
Semi-Metallic Pads: These pads are the workhorses of the commercial braking world. Composed of various metallic fibers (iron, copper, steel, etc.) mixed with organic fillers, semi-metallic pads offer excellent braking performance, heat dissipation, and a strong initial bite. They are generally more durable and better suited for the heavy loads and frequent braking cycles experienced by an International LT.
-
Heavy-Duty (HD) Pads: Specifically designed for severe-duty applications, HD pads are engineered to withstand extreme heat and prolonged braking without fade. They typically feature formulations optimized for commercial vehicles, providing superior stopping power and longevity under demanding conditions. For an International LT, especially if it
