Severe driver side rear brake rotor destruction from caliper mounted on front of rotor, preventing self cleaning of mud, from rotor face. Rotor is destroyed by abrasive action of grit held in place against rotor by forward motion of wheels. This problem has been encountered in our other two 1999 Ford (1-F550 and 1-F450). Our company operates a fleet of 50 vehicles in offroad oilfield service trucking. We have 33 years experience in this type of offroad vehicle use. This problem is the most severe engineering problem we have encountered in our experience. This must be addressed by Ford and an engineering change must be made. Certain injuries and deaths will probably occur during high speed brake applications if the disc pad locks into the forged cooling web of the rotor.
