Re: OEM GM Brake Pads

Whoa you guys are serious, rotors are like 15-20 bux anyway so pad slapping is pointless in my eyes. Plus I have pad slapped before with quality pads (ATE and wagner) and have had numorous comebacks with glazed surfaces and pulses. I also live in the salt belt so rotors dont last long enough for 2 sets of pads. Just my 2 cents.

Re: OEM GM Brake Pads

1999 Silverado 1500 Extended Cab, 4.3V8, 156K miles. I have not had a brake job since I bought the truck in fall of 1998. Just had it in the dealership for oil change about 2 weeks ago and they checked my brakes and said I'm still good to go. When I do need a brake job, I want the OEM parts that came on the truck when I bought it. I have never had brakes that lasted this long (nor have I met anyone else who has this many miles on their vehicles with zero brake replacement).

Well; you have now. I have 171K miles on the original drivetrain and brakes.

I'm on my third set of tires though. It's my daily driver commuting in San Diego traffic.. but I'm a coaster.. not a brake slammer.
