How much weight does it save?

Caliper weight about the same as the shoes. I'm gonna say the rotor is a tic lighter than a drum.
My experience now consists of two: one the driver drove through the park brake, and one that the cap was left off the adjuster and it seized.

Just replaced the guide pins on 2 of my caliper a and one rotor because I was t watching close enough.
I don’t have front discs, just the drives. But I like how simple it is. Parts are expensive but they last longer. Up here it seems drums need to be replaced when doing shows because of gravel and dirt. Where as disc it’s only been pads so far. And no freezing brakes in the winter.
Lack of dust shields accelerates pad and drum wear tremendously.
Rotors are a PITA to replace but should last the life of most first owners. I’ve had one seize up so I just replaced it. What I like is it takes longer to pull the wheels off as it does to drop new pads in.

Makes them a PITA to get thawed out in the winter though. But it makes the DOT work that much harder so it’s a plus.
Yes and also not using a bunch of grease or dealing with worn cam bushings and seized on slacks. Weight savings also depends on drums. I run cast so I save there for sure.
A rotor is much lighter than a steel drum.
And ya rotors are a pain to change but easier than a s cam.
Yes... but can stop them all lol lots of our running is gravel and that don’t help.
I haven’t had to thaw one yet. Can usually get them broke free with a solid bar between rom holes and against drum.
I also have the supply gladhand ball valve. In winter I’ll close it before I release trailer air and it will hold brakes off.
2900 rpm max semi puller hub dyno. Yes, they pull down in rpm so numbers propably a little bit higher than real power.

Look a flock of European douche nozzles in their natural environment.
Can just smell the horsepowers.

Just cashed in my Daimler training points for a Garmin 45 dash cam. Interested to see how it works. I have in the back of my mind that having one somehow obligates you to have a wreck.Anyone using dash cams?
