Default 2007 Silverado 3500- Rotors wearing

What is with the rotors on these trucks or is it just mine. This is the second time that I am going to have to replace the rotors and hubs (since they are one blanking piece.) The rotor wears out before the pads ever get worn. The last time they wore through so you could tell where the hollow areas are in the rotor and this time they are worn a good 1/8" into rotor. These are lifetime pads and they seem to be harder than the rotor. Anyone else have the same problem? Also, anyone had a problem with the manifold cracking on passenger side. This truck has 204,000 0n it but has always been maintained. Seems to be going through a little rough patch.

its the lifetime pads...they eat rotors. They shops give away the pads to sell you the rotors.

200 000...i wouldn't consider that excessive wear for 2 pair of rotors.
