Vtec Max Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I burnt through mine in 30k!!! Just wondering if this is some kind of record? Oh and by the way, thats pads rotors and shoes I guess I might need to on those off-ramps! 30k is a bit early for rotor replacement. there is a brake pad indicator letting you know the pads are low right? Shouldn't really wear down to the rotor. Anyways, I know it's a wear item and shouldn't be covered under warranty.....but it never hurt to try and complain to the dealer about it. You just might get them to replace it for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Dealers will only replace if they tend to go out in less than 10k. I have 35k on my truck and I am still on the stockers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nxtnlne Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Was talking to my mom yesterday about her Yukon and she told me her brakes have not been changed yet. Her GMC Yukon XL has 80,000 miles on it no bullshit!!!!!! I think she holds the record! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vtec Max Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Was talking to my mom yesterday about her Yukon and she told me her brakes have not been changed yet. Her GMC Yukon XL has 80,000 miles on it no bullshit!!!!!! I think she holds the record! My Tahoe has 82,000 miles and the brakes are only half worn (if that). These brake pads last a long time if you're not always on the brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 My SS has only has 10K on it and the front pads are near shot, will probably have to replace them in 2K or so....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotik1 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 25k........ Then went Baer! lol, I still have all the stocker stuff and will put it on when the truck leaves me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissfans03ss Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I could be wrong but with disk/drum setups the front pads will wear faster due to the fact that the front brakes due most of the braking where as on a disk/disk setup the braking is more evenly split between the front/rear brakes.

r8rs4lf Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I bought my truck in Dec. of '03 and I'm still on the stock brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perk03z06 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 63K on my stockers. I am real impressed by that ... and every time I pull wheels to rotate, the pads never look worn ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexaSS Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 57K here. Will probably need to change within the next 10K miles. My mom's old Tahoe went about 85K without needing to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax2fast Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I see a consistant pattern here... Moms gm vehicles brakes last till 80k..... i guess i dont drive like yalls moms. More like Fireman and Kaotik I did take it into the dealer at 20 k when they were squeeking.... (they sqeeked from about 8k, but I think that was from all the trailering I did last summer) they told me there was probably a rock in them because the brakes should last to 80-90k They didn't even take the tires off. I shouldn't have taken their word for it and checked myself. Just too busy w/ work and side jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perk03z06 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 So ... I'm guessing they're ceramic pads? Why do they last so long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
