Original Brake Pads???

[donalloy1]

Fellow SS's, Is there a way to positively verify if my Brake Pads are originals from GM to US Military? My M1009 shows 22k on Odometer and have yet to find anything on vehicle to prove that Odometer has not been rolled over. Attached pictures of Pads from left front. Hope you all can help? Reason for need to know is for maint/pm purposes.
All your input is greatly appreciated as always. DMLII sends respectfully!

Unless you could trace the service records for your truck..good luck on that, your maintenance records begin when you took possession. I would say that there is no way to know if the pads are original.

Was hoping there would be a CLEAR telltale sign from manufacture to military! Something clearly unique from civi supply lines. So much for that Hasdrubal. Suppose I go on wondering... is it 22k miles or other???

It's a civi truck with 24v added . Same pads as the K 5's rolling down the line.

Probably the single most useless thing that I've seen on any ex military vehicle is the speedometer/odometer. You must realize that when the vehicle is in the possession of the U.S. military, they don't exactly have to follow the same rules as civilian car dealerships do when it comes to odometer accuracy. If the speedo quits working on a military vehicle, and it's the instrument, they just put in a new one. In the case of the CUCV, if the dash panel flakes out and some other gauges stop working, since it is a combination panel with everything built in the same panel...the whole thing would get swapped out. Not a big deal. Be glad you have a truck that runs good and leave it at that.

Hea Don, Measure the drums to see if they have been cut.

No military motorpool I ever saw had a brake lathe. They would just put new parts on.

Good idea wayne pick! All I need to know now is factory specifications on rotors?

Does she have 22k, 122k or ? I suppose I will never be able to verify. Other than rust from Salted Roads in Utah &^%$#@! I am very happy to have her! She runs quite well and plan on keeping her till I am gone from this planet. Thanks for all your input as always. DMLII sends
