How Long Did Your Factory Brakes Last

[roofing458]

With in a month changed all brakes pads on my 2005 4x4 2500 HD 72k miles Then on my wifes 2004 Denali 83k on it .This was the reason my last three pickups have been chevys.Had the new dodge in 1995& 98 brakes fell off at 36k.What kind of milage do you get out of yours.

I know some of you aren't going to believe this, and that's OK, I wouldn't believe it either, but my 2000 Z71 has the factory pads and rotors and it just turned 118K. The pads still have about 1/3 of the life left, but starting back around 100K the rotors started vibrating a little bit and have a slight pulsing during braking now. It's getting time for new pads/rotors.

WOW you guys must drive like the Church Lady from Saturday Night Live LOL.I have pulled a lot of dump trailers with this truck, been to Flordia 2 times we worked a couple of hurricanes down there I was still thrilled with 70 k plus.Well good braking to all,,,

Be sure to double check the inner pads on the front. There is a recall for failing anti-lock sensors which results in premature wear on the inners.

There was a recall, but it only affected vehicles in areas/states where salt was used on the roads. The salt corroded the sensors.

It was time to do the rears on my 03 at 86k. I went ahead and did my fronts because I bought cross drilled and slotted rotors all the way around and painted my calipers. No doubt the fronts would have lasted alot longer.

[jsbgump]

I have an 06 GMC CC and have a little over 30k and need to change the fronts soon and maybe the rears

[WELD4DAYS]

I have a 2002 Silverado with 86,000 miles.Same pads.Still look good and feel good.My truck is a stick shift which might help save the pads while using the gears to slow down instead of the brakes.

I also got 118k out of my original fronts. still on the original rears (knockin' on 140,000 ) could have gone longer on the factory fronts but I replaced wheel bearings so figured I would do breaks as well.

[502tripower]

02 2500HD 91,000 and brakes still have 1/2. I also live in a rural area with little or no town driving.

[roofing458]

mine are both drivin in the city & burbs where you brake every block.i bet you will not get these kind of replys from da dodge & ford guys ..

My 1999 2500 w wheel discs went 140k. I had to replace them, pads, rotors, lines, and MC, after letting it set for a year (less than 600 miles in 16 months). Basically the system just rusted off. The pads still looked good. the parking brake was junk though.

[Ron 586]

I have a 99 Chevy 1500 extended cab with 165000+ on it. I replaced the rear brakes at 135000 miles and the front have never been touched. I pull a 16' flat trailer that I haul a D-17 AC with a bush hog or box blade on when not collecting old trucks and race cars. I even pull my 24' enclosed with my 72 nova in it. I use mine hard but I use common sense. I don't wait till I should be stopped to start stopping.

[1990SSchevy65]

I bought my 2003 CCSB 1500hd 4x4 used with 100K on it, and now at 125K I need to replace the rear brakes/rotors. The front pads look to have a little longer to go. I did have to replace the driver's front wheel bearing at about 120K. That was a big pain in the rear to do.

Mine went 121 before the front pads squealed....my mechanic told me they were factory pads....amazing!

We got 202,000 out of the Wife's 99 4wd Trailblazer Factory set.

Out of the 8 pads, it has 4 wheel disc, only 1 got into the metal.

[Ghastlyone]

I believe my brother's 99 Silverado went around 120k miles before he had to do 1 single thing to the truck.

You can't go wrong with GM

[Cdshinne]

fronts around 80k and rears at 145k

[DirtyLarry]

110K on a Silverado HD and 100K on a 2004 Tahoe. The pads on both rigs look like new.

[GCncsuHD]

128k mi on original brakes on my 2500HD, and it has been used for pulling trailers most of its life, and the last 30k miles have been with 37" tires. Last time I had the wheels off to rotate the tires, the pads front and rear looked to have plenty of life left.
