Today I noticed how bad my brakes are squealing. I really heard it when my wife took my truck to go pick up the kids from school. I heard her coming up the driveway it was squeeling so loud. I kinda been figuring since around Jan that they'd needa be replaced soon as theyd squeal every once in a while and starting to vibrate slightly when applied. I REALLY noticed shortly after my Blackbear tune, when I slowed doen very quickly from over 100mph. :lol:
Anyone wanna donate me some from pads and rotors for a 01 Burban? :dunno:
Actually... I think I have a set of Semi metallic pads in the garage. Bought them for my 05 Silverado but never used them. Are they the same item?

I dunno if the use the same pads or not, but I DO know they switched to larger rotors on the 05's. I'll go snoop around a few parts sites and see if they have the same part number for 01 pads and 05 pads.
I'll go look at them and see what part number they are. I might have bought them for my 01 now that I think about it. Can't remember... just thought they might come in handy one day so I kept them. Might be tomorrow before I get to them.

From what I see on Advance's site, Ceramic is OE on the 01's but the semi mettalics are listed. :thumbs: The wearever silver and gold are all the same part numbers for 05 and 01. So this has me wondering.........Can I buy 05 rotors and do my own "big brake upgrade" ??:dunno: I wonder if the caliper mounts and spindles are all different? Dammit will all this mod ideas running thru my head. :facepalm:
