Ken's way is much faster!
From the AllDataDIY shop manual:
Brake Pad and Rotor Burnishing
Warning
Road test a vehicle under safe conditions and while obeying all traffic laws. Do not attempt any maneuvers that could jeopardize vehicle control. Failure to adhere to these precautions could lead to serious personal injury and vehicle damage.
Burnishing the brake pads and brake rotors is necessary in order to ensure that the braking surfaces are properly prepared after service has been performed on the disc brake system.
This procedure should be performed whenever the disc brake rotors have been refinished or replaced, and/or whenever the disc brake pads have been replaced.

- Select a smooth road with little or no traffic.
- Accelerate the vehicle to 48 km/h (30 mph). Note: Use care to avoid overheating the brakes while performing this step.
- Using moderate to firm pressure, apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop. Do not allow the brakes to lock.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until approximately 20 stops have been completed. Allow sufficient cooling periods between stops in order to properly burnish the brake pads and rotors.

Kinda.
I had four tabs open with everything I was finding, including the manufacturer and two resellers, then one of the other three inhabitants of the house closed everything. I have my browser locked down so no history or trails are left so I couldn't just reopen the tabs.
What I DO recall, was that the company (MAX Brakes) has an email and phone number. It looks like you can shop from their site but you probably have to register first. I found a few rotor and pad kits for our trucks but couldn't see how to add it to the cart.
Amazon just has their pads.
Ebay looks to have everything, but not in one kit.
Here's the full kit with blank rotors for $130 US.
Here's the rear drilled and slotted kit with pads for $86 US (Couldn't find the front).
And here's the full front and rear kit with the anti-rust coating for $161 US. I added this it to my eBay cart and will compare it to other kits such as R1 and OEM PPV/SSV equipment.

So on the way home on Friday, my radio started acting weird. It finally stopped when I pressure the mute button a few times...check it out

I'm gonna guess fault in the steering wheel control circuit. Maybe faulty buttons intermittently shorting and acting as if you're holding a button(s) or maybe a wire harness was damaged (airbag deploy?).

The bag did deploy, but this is the first time it has ever done this. And it was only for a min. or so. I thought it could possible have something to do with the ridiculous heat that was inside of my truck that day. Who knows. If it happens again, I might look into it a bit more.
