[QUOTE="84Toyota4x4, post: 1493362, member: 16626"] Thank everyone. I had thought about checking the pads, but the thought of getting that thing back off the ground, getting the wheels off, and getting under it again wasn't too appealing. The jacks won't lift it off the ground, so I actually have to use bottle jacks and jack stands and I can only do one side at a time. I was hoping for some kind of "tests" I could do without disassembling it, but it looks like checking the pads out is about the best option for now. As a side note, the pads and rotors on the motorhome had been heavily overheated at least once in their life when the driver (same driver as the one complaining something is wrong) got up too much speed on a hill. As the story goes, the back of the motorhome was full of smoke from the brakes by the time they stopped at the bottom. The fronts have obviously been replaced, but the rears are still original and show signs of overheating when looking through the dually rear wheels. I'm thinking that could play into things because the overall braking performance is potentially reduced because the rears aren't working 100% due to the overheated/glazed pads, thus making the new fronts work harder and possibly overheating them easier. ~T.J.
