[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1849459, member: 9096"] Brake size didn't increase when there was a switch from drum to disk.. trucks had 16" rims before and after, the increased rim size came later when people started to like bigger tires on the trucks, and if you increase the tire diameter you have to increase the rotor diameter by an equal amount to keep the same braking effectiveness, or you can keep the same tire diameter and just get better braking, which is why most 1500 class trucks these days have a 10,000 lb rated towing capacity (which I don't really agree with). As for the exhaust, the weep holes aren't there for when the engine is running and everything is hot, it's for either very short trips where the exhaust system has no chance to warm up, for for EVERY time you shut down and the water vapor in the exhaust condenses.. Why wouldn't you have a drain hole and give it some place to go??? [/QUOTE]
