Well I know alot of silverado's had this problem. And I use to be a brake tech and saw it all the time at the shop I worked at. Has anyone solved this problem?? I just replaced mine about 8 months ago and they are warped already.

I have a 2000 5.3 and have had my share of brake problems...I now have Brembo cross drilled rotors on the front with Hawk pads and new stock rotors/pads in the rear. I use the Super Blue brake fluid I think it is, I'd have to look at the can for sure but my truck stops better now at 96k miles then it ever has and I got it at 35K with all new the rotors/pads and I changed them once at 69K with Brembo slotted rotors and ceramic pads front and back and couldn't tell the difference over stock.

I have over 156K on my truck and I have never had any brake problems.. ame rotors and have only needed to replace the brakes once.. I know I know. But I swear by GM Ceramic pads.. best Pads I have ever had on a truck.

Wheels need to be tightened with a torque wrench in two steps following the proper criss-cross pattern to the proper specified torque value.. If not, you risk warping the rotors. Impact guns are a big no-no. Also, the reverse order has to be followed when removing a wheel.
Warped rotors are almost always result from improper and installation technique.

uhm well I torqued them myself. And yes I know how to do it. I was a mechanic. Thats not the reason they warped.

The only other thing that will warp them is overheating the brakes. Maybe the calipers are not fully releasing creating excessive heat.

brand new loaded calipers when I did the brakes. I have to check the rears out. My guess is that the rears have an issue and the fronts are overworking.
