Silverado Brakes

[whitefrost]

just wondering if the rotors and pads,and the drums and shoes are the same size on my vortec max as they are on regular silverados.(2006).mine has the super duty 4 speed auto,and 14 bolt rear end.

I don't know for sure, but I am going to say no. I just replaced the rear rotors and brake pads on my truck. I didn't have any problems finding rotors, but there are at least three different brake pads for the rear. There were single and dual piston calipers in 2004. I got a set of pads that were listed for my truck (dual piston calipers), but the tabs were completely different. They pulled out the pads for a single piston and those were different, but still not correct. They finally pulled out a set listed under an SS and they were correct.

 

I've owned my truck since new, so I now the calipers are factory, and I'm not sure why the pads were under SS only. My truck is not a v-max, so I would expect your truck will be different from a regular Silverado.

2 different rotors and 2 different sets of rear pads. Dealing with dual or single piston and brake GVW capacities.
