What? Are you hauling D12 dozers behind tht truck? I changed my front rotors and pads at 120k 'just bcause', but they were working fine and really didn't need it.

 

I know…. I’m the second owner. No idea what he pulled , I pulled my 8k trailer maybe a dozen times this year. That’s about it

 

I’m going to pull the rear wheels off tomorrow to ensure that they are actually down to 3mm

 

I changed mine at 12k just because of the factory squealing. They were also the dustiest brakes ever.

Used powerstop ceramic front and rear and was the best money spent. Stops a lot better and very little brake dust.

Difficulty was no different than any other vehicle with disc brakes. No special tools required other than a way to compress the pistons (I use a piston compressor tool but you can do it with an old pad and a c clamp). Just be careful with the plastic wear indicator thingys. I broke one, just left it off and no codes in 30k miles.

 

I was thinking of going to these pads on my truck. Is it the same pads for front and rear? Looking at your pictures it looks to be the same part number.

 

326k on my 2022 and still stock all around.

 

Yeah, somethings off. I'd check them yourself, the brakes on these new trucks are very robust.
This guy got 450k out of the stock pads on a 2018. ->450k original brakes

 

Agreed, something is off. I can guarantee I have more miles towing and towing heavier than anyone here. And the brakes on mine should be good to about 600k I think.

 

new pads and rotors at 16k, yikes!

 

im a hair under 95k and still over 50% and i tow horses a lot

 

Yeah, now so I do live in Ottawa, Canada, so we get our fair share of salt and crap from the roads. Going to pul the wheel off tomorrow and probably the caliber to take a good look at it.

 

118k on my 2022 and no brake job yet. Computer still shows70%. No squeal.

 

Well yep inside pad down to 3mm. Here is the crappy part, and good lord I hate it when manufacturers do this. You can’t put the parking brake in maintenance mode yourself…. Dealer only.

 

Hmm I might be wrong here, since the 2500's don't have an actuator for the parking brake the same as 1500's, then there is no maintenance mode for rear brake jobs.

2022 GMC SIERRA 2500 AT4 BRAKE SERVICE MODE

I am trying to replace the rear brakes on my 2500 AT4. I have watched every video and read the forums on holding the brake down and the parking brake button, once it flashes on the dash, let go and then press again and it will put the truck in service mode to do the rears. I cannot get the truck ...

Well if anyone reads this, brake job is straight forward. No need to put anything in maintenance mode, make sure parking brake is off then proceed as normal. The caliper bolts will be tough if it’s the first brake job, a bit of heat solves that.

Mine for some reason wore the inside out and not the outside.

 

Inside (caliper side) wearing faster is from a caliper that hasn't been sliding freely.

 

That’s what I figured. I’ve lubricated the slides, in guessing a bit of brake fluid to lube the piston? I’ve never had to lubricate the piston before.

 

Don't lube the piston in the caliper, it is (should be) sealed up. The slides and pins are the service items.

 

they were lubricated.

 

Also both sides exhibited the same problem.

 

I have 52,000 miles om my 2022 4X4 2500HD LTZ pull 10,000 RV Fifth Wheel, still have over 75% of brakes left. Some of my trips have been to Cripple Creek, Colorado 10,000 feet, Yellowstone, Sedona, AZ, Michigan. Be sure to look at brakes yourself. Sencers could be damage or garage mechanic could be just trying to make a sell. Been a long time since your post. hope you made the right choice.

 

Yeah, I’m at 65K and my wear indicators are not even making noise yet, but I have a bad shimmy when I brake hard. Chevy dealer inspected them by taking off the tires and claimed I needed new pads AND all 4 rotors are warped 😂 I said that’s BS. You can’t tell me anything without pulling the calipers and rotors off. A 4 wheel pad and rotor job is about $650-$700 just for 2 year rotors if you do the labor yourself. The dealer wants $650 per wheel. Sorry Hoss, no thank you.

 

Calipers and Rotors do not have to be removed to tell that the Rotors are Warped. 😂 My Philosophy is if you brake so hard that you are warping your Rotors do not resurface, replace. Resurfacing rotors will remove metal making them weaker, more likely to warpage. Replace both front rotors for sure, and pads. Good Pads. Rear rotors are probably ok. Pull rear wheel, turn hub and watch and see if rotor moves back and forth to front and back brake pads. If rotors are loose on hub put a few Lug nuts to keep rotor in place. If warped replace.
I pull a 10,000 LB, RV all over the country, to Cripple Creek, Colorado, at about 10,000 feet. Sedona, Zion National Park, Yellow Stone, Michigan, and more. I have 55K and have over 75% left on my brakes. Overheating of the rotors is what makes the rotors warp.
Good luck and be safe

 

Some people unconsciously ride their brakes. That also warps rotors.

And yes, no need to remove pads and rotors to determine if rotors are warped.

 

If you’re warping rotors on these trucks, you’re doing it way wrong! Use that exhaust brake and forget about the brakes.

 

Emergency stopping and then leaving the brake pads engaged to the rotors also can warp them. If need to make a quick stop ALWAYS try to leave some room and continue to roll slowly.

The pad just sitting on the rotor at an elevated temp transfers more pad material to the rotor and thus 'warps' them.

 

Man some of you are getting some serious mileage out of pads. I just did the rears for the first time ever. Fronts I believe have been done 3 times. I have just under 200k. The second set of brakes I believe went fast for 2 reasons. 1 slides were sticking and 2 my trailer brake system was malfunctioning and at times the truck was the only thing stopping the toyhauler. We will see how this set does.

 

I’m at 22k and the DIC says I’m at 90% or a little less wear. If that continues then 200k+ on these?

 

Think I said it earlier in this thread, I never put brakes in my white truck. 30k and computer says 89/92%

 

78% front 84% rear at 54,000 miles on my truck. 80%+ of miles are towing. Quite impressed with brake wear on this truck.
