2002 Safari Sahara, Roadmaster chassis, 39.5 ft with 8.3 Cummins ISC engine. I need brakes and rotors replaced and nobody knows what brand of brakes they are. 4 years and many mountains ago, the front ones were replaced and were found to be Ford F something 650 I think. I wish I would have written it down. 🤨
Anyone know what they are? My predicament is we live in it full time and the place doesn’t let us stay in it once it’s torn apart. If they have trouble identifying them or trouble with shipping them in or whatever, We’re stuck with hotel fees! Help please?

There should an ID tag on the axle. Mine had about the toughest undercoating on the planet on tag. I had to wash off with different solvents including gas.
The axle type & model should help to identify brakes used.

I have all the numbers for both axles, given by Monaco or REVgroup. Rockwell tells me the numbers are wrong?? I’m seeing nothing but the smallest of micro fissures and want to wait until I get home to my usual mechanic. I have had no problems with the brakes this far. Thanks for the reply.

You can find photos and diagrams of what's acceptable on these huge drums and discs. What passes is way worse than I would be comfortable with lol.
This chassis forum doesn't get much traffic/eyes near as many as Monaco one you fall under.

If you are able, take a front wheel off to take pictures of any casting numbers on these rotors. Look on the outside, the inside, and the outer circumference of the rotor.

Finding the rotors would be more difficult than the pads. Once you have the rotors on hand, disassemble the brakes and take the pads to any big truck parts supply house. They should have them.
You might even get lucky and find a part number on the pads.

Another thing, sometimes there is a small plate attached to the outside of the rotor hub. Remove the hubcap to see if you get lucky there.
