drilled and slotted rotors on the crew.

So theres not a section for brakes so this is goin here. When i bought the truck with 82k on the clock, the lady that owned it had walmart do all the maintenance, well apparently they dont check brakes. Anyways there was no pad whatsoever left, was metal on metal and had been that way for a while, i noticed the rotors were trashed when i seen the pads were gone, but i had no rotors, so i replaced the brakes, so i could still have a vehicle and ordered up some d&s rotors from summit, so today i put the new rotors on and new pads...again. Im dredding pulling off the rear hubs.

Do you have disc brakes in the back as well?? If so yeah your going to have fun with getting them off, mine were a bear because the emergency brake adjustment was way off from the factory and we ended up taking the emergency brake cable off to get the rear rotors off. I actually did a how to for this, but it's on a different forum....

I might have to look into that, my factory brakes suck. Can you tell a difference in performance?

So I just went outside to clean the truck up and noticed a wierd brake pattern on the rotor, upon closer examimation theyre not the right size, called up summit and yes im right the ones I got are for a different packaged truck.....the ones I need of course are 150$ more, but summit said if I pay the 150$ difference I can keep these and theyll send me the right ones and cover shipping, so in a few days ill be doing it again :lol:

Yea even with em being the wrong size it stops way shorter than it used to, I can tell a huge difference.

Those look like the ones for the 99-02 with the smaller front rotor cause those years have disk front and rear

I believe GM had a bullettin on the front brakes on the 07+ trucks. They replqced my first set at less than 30000. About to hit 70000 and they r ready for some new ones.

My dads 03 has disk brakes on the rear. I think 04 was the last year they had em.

I had 165k+ on my factory pads/rotors. Had the rotors turned and put new pads in and it was good to go.

I've been wanting to do the 05 brakes up front, but just haven't gotten the extra cash, time, or motivation to do it. :lol:
