most get 35-50,ooomi. this is usually the calipers are defective..if the vehicle was not bleed properly at any time water/mosture will cause them to bind up ..this causes rapid pad wear and rotor damage..the caliper pins may be damaged rusted.. the pads may be too tight in the caliper as the pad metal backing has metal burrs that cause the pad to lock up causing rapid wear.
the heat shields can also be a problem if bent out of position..the front wheel sensor wire if not properly secured can hit the rotor.

Thanks for the reply. I knew that info but was stretching for anything.. In a fluke discovery the chevy mechanic said.. "hey all these mounts and fasteners in your fender well are wrong. These aren't the right fender fasteners." My reply was.. "Well where did they come from this was a brand new truck from the factory bought with 0 miles on it and I never had work done to it." He pushed on the fender well and it did a metal to metal screech. So I think we found it by accident. Very strange. I wonder if they'll call it warranty since it came from the factory wrong?? We'll see what happens when they get the proper mounts and fasteners in tomorrow.
