Drove the truck for a day or two while waiting for calipers to come and the new pads I had installed before changing the calipers look like the got a little heat damage showing surface cracks that are about 1/16 deep. Should they be replaced or will they still be okay to use. They are Carquest Premium professional ceramic pads. Truck is not a daily driver more of a weekend run around vehicle.
