    The dealership said that they were rusting pretty bad and needed to be replaced.... He told me that Isuzu didn't do a great job of using any protectant to keep them from this...

    Just a bit miffed...

    Took her in for a second opinion today and a completely different story. Guy said I have plenty of pad left and he wouldn't do anything until the end of summer in preparation for the winter here is CO.

    He said the rotors had some surface rust, but nothing to warrant replacing them.

    I guess whoever coined the phrase on the forum of "stealership" wasn't too far off in this case.

    Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions and encouragement.

    MSHardeman you can still come on over the we'll get the CO VXers together this summer.

    Dealership for parts, private mechanic for service.
