gmcsierragt Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Ive had some brake issues from the get go with this truck, when I bought it it had a frozen rear caliper, I replaced that, last september the rear brakes went, the inner right rear pad fell right out and destroyed the caliper, I replaced the rear pads, rear rotors and right rear caliper, last sunday the same thing happened again, I replaced everything again but dunno why its going through rear brakes like this. One of my friends said it could be a portionong valve? anyone else had this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSplaytoy Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 sounds like you're more dangerous on the road than a drunk driver at least they can stop alright alright...enough bustin your chops... did the rear pads snap to come out?

gmcsierragt Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 cant think of to many things that will give u that OH SH*T feeling like losing youre brakes. the inner pad was down to almost just the baking plate, never made any wierd noises or any warning signs just was hanging out by a thread between the rotor and bottom piston, with brake fluid everywhere, the front brakes should go long before the rears though sounds like you're more dangerous on the road than a drunk driver at least they can stop alright alright...enough bustin your chops... did the rear pads snap to come out?

SSplaytoy Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 so the pistons in the caliper pushed all the way out but there was no pad...ok.. the pads have a tab on em tho so you should heard screeching to know you needed brakes. And I have done my rear brakes 2 or 3 times and the front once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcsierragt Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 never heard anything, no warning screech or grinding, Ive been using Duralast Gold C-Max pads, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSplaytoy Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I went through the WEAREVER brand sets and they suck. Got em from the dealer last time and they're holdin up great. Seem to last longer IMO. So the whole pad fallin out, caliper fails, has happened twice somethin aint right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stg313 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I have no idea what could make that happen but I thought that I would add that my rear pads also wear faster than my fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 FYI it is common and normal for the rear brakes to wear out before the fronts on an AWD SSS due tio the way the brakes are proportioned. My Tahoe is on its second set of rear brakes at 81k, but still on the original fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
