Definitely compare VIN's (privately if you like, no need to post that on a public forum for people to grab) and see if they're close. VIN's are like a birth certificate for a car, they can tell you where and when it was made.
I've noticed that the brakes aren't always as "sharp" as I would like them to be, usually after driving for a while. I'm told it can be attributed to the pads floating back further in the calipers over time, but I don't know if I buy that.
I'm planning to upgrade to slotted rotors, Performance Friction pads, and new fluid all around, so we'll see what happens after that. I'm pretty sure the damn thing should stop on a dime once all of that is done.
Anyway, please let us know what you find. Mine is an 03 X-cab, but I don't think the brake components are different between that and an 04 DC are they?
