Re: disposable brake rotors?
I am NOT rough on equipment. I got 105,000 out of rear shoes two trucks ago and 70,000 on the last trucks rear pads. There has to be a reason why GM went back to drum brakes on these trucks.

Re: disposable brake rotors?
Wow! I feel lucky too, I've got my '01 Tahoe LT 2X4 with the AutoRide option, so I can tow the boat and every time I have an oil service our tech says the brakes and fine with 45% still to go. Oh and we have 106 K miles on it too. Amazing.

Re: disposable brake rotors?
Yeah...go figure. '03 1500 Chevy truck....100,000 miles with 4 wheel disc brakes...and still had 60% on the original brakes when I traded it in. New '07 Silverado LT (front discs and rear drums)....had to replace the right front rotor at 3,000 miles
 and now I believe the front disc are both warped!I asked the service manager why Chevy did the switcheroo...and he said it saved them a few bucks....  Other than the brake problem...I love the new truck

Re: disposable brake rotors?
Rear discs in salt country aren't such a good idea it seems.
