New Power Slot Rotors
Well as many of you have read I had a power package installed recently on my F-250 Super Duty for increased towing power. This was done by 4 Wheel Parts Performance Center in Tacoma.

The old stock rotors on my F-250 note the heat marks
Now I asked the Tacoma store manger Eric Johnson (253-476-1600) what he could do about helping me in the braking department. I notice when towing the Lowrance boat that I could use some increased stopping power.

The new Power Slot Rotor
Eric recommended installing Power Slot Rotors.

Excessive heat on brakes can cause resins in your brake pad to vaporize or "outgas." As the brake pad wears, the used friction material turns into a fine dust. This boundary layer of heat, gas and dust builds up between the pad and rotor surfaces and inhibits performance. Here's where Power Slot's slotted brake rotors make a big difference.
Power Slot's exclusive Vac-U-Slots are machined into the rotor and help evacuate gasses and dust, shed heat, and keep the brake pad surface clean. And in wet, raining conditions, our Vac-U-Slot helps push water off the braking surface for better stopping power.
I can really tell the difference in stopping power now when towing a 12K pound boat. I highly recommend this upgrade for any tow vehicle. Check out 4 Wheel Parts for your upgrades there great bunch of guys who know trucks.
