[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 272508, member: 483"] My brother owns a Tahoe with 164,000 miles on it, still on its original set of pads and rotors. He drives the thing like a bat out of hell. A good friend of ours owns a Silverado with over 200,000 miles, also still on its original rotors and pads. I sold a 2004 Duramax a while back with 75,000 miles with its original rotors and pads still on it. I used to own a 1997 Toyota 4Runner that couldn't go 15,0000 miles without warping the rotors and the pads would be almost gone by the time I had to replace the rotors. I also owned a 2001 F350 that the pads needed to be replaced about every 25,000 miles. (About normal according to widely held belief.) So why is it that GM can make brakes that last so long? And are we all duped into believing that pads are wear items when GM obviously knows how to make them last almost indefinitely? Anyone else experience the everlasting GM brakes? [/QUOTE]
