2004 Silverado 1500 4x4 Brakes

[LBJ]

After 85K miles since brand new, I finally got around to seeing how much is left on the front brake pads. To my surprise I still have 1/4" on the inner and outer pads! Rotors look almost brand new with a thin ridge on the very edge. No warning/alert sensors have sounded.

Now, how many MORE miles does 1/4" pads equate to? It should go without mention I don't drive the truck hard at all, considering I have 85K miles in 12 years (7K miles a year) and a fair amount of brakes left. I was thinking 10K miles at least. Not trying to save money or that I'm cheap, but gauging when the brakes REALLY need refreshing.

But, I may go ahead and do it now before it gets miserably cold. Ha

Thanks, LBJ
