Easiest upgrade would be to carbon pads, ss lines, high boil point fluid.
Try Paul Weston of Weston MotorSports (+1 (888) 558-0631, or
mailto:WMSBrakes@AOL.com). After that, who knows?

Subject: NON-Q: How To Improve Ford Pickup Brakes - HELP


	One of  my family bought a while back a Ford F250 pickup (1998
vintage)  for hauling her two horses around.  In Michigan she had no
problems but since they've moved to Arizona she finds herself driving in
the
mountains a lot.  She has also recently discovered that the stock brakes
don't hold up very well when trying to slow down a 10,000 pound trailer
load
in addition to the truck's own weight.

	Does ANYONE have ANY ideas about what changes I can make to this
truck so that she can slow down her load when coming down-hill?  Yes the
trailer does have brakes and they can lock, but they are not any good when
hot...
