I'm looking online for brake pads and I'm not sure what I need. I dont have the JF3 or JF7 RPO codes so does this mean I need the Heavy Duty pads? Its a 07 Vmax 6.0 with 3.73 gears.

If you post me the last 8 digits of your VIN I can look up the OE GM part number.

I have JD9 brakes (disc/disc) on my '07 VMAX/3.73's,they would not be considered heavy duty pads though.

Dont all of the VMax's have the disc/disc setup??

 

Apparently no. I believe that for the 07 up, you must have the max trailering package or some other package to get four wheel disc brakes. I know that some on this forum have V Max trucks with drum rear brakes.

Rich will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that stabilitrac makes the difference whether or not you have disks or drums. I have stabilitrac and have discs all 'round. At least that's the way I understand it on the Vmax trucks.

Exactly +2 :P

 

On the 6-liter trucks you must have StabiliTrak in order to have the rear-disc brakes.

Kinda - I have stabilitrack and drums in the rear - although I don't have the VMax just the vnormal I guess.

 

4.8/5.3 GMT900 1/2-tons all have rear drums,even with StabiliTrak.

Heres that last 8 71552498

 

I have the JD9 RPO and have disc/disc. I guess my confusion is the auto parts store gave me only two options, the JF3, JF7 RPO which I dont have or the HD brake pads. Which do I need?

Well,I still say you wouldn't need the HD pads,but I can tell you this...

1/2-ton trucks "without" StabiliTrak use GM part#25910431/AC-Delco part#171-0974

1/2-ton trucks "with" StabiliTrak use GM part#25918341/AC-Delco part#171-0975

Also,the GM part number for the rear-disc brake pads is 15945636/AC-Delco part#171-0982

See if they can cross those GM part numbers over to their part numbers.

BTW...You do have StabiliTrak (RPO "JL4")

Guys,

 

I used the one without" StabiliTrak - GM part#25910431/AC-Delco part#171-0974

 

instead of the one "with" StabiliTrak- GM part#25918341/AC-Delco part#171-0975.

 

The fit was exactly like the old (stock part#25918341)!

 

Price is the same.

 

Any problem?

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
