Hey guys- I'm looking to get new drums and shoes ordered for my truck (just rear brakes). I looked on ACDelco's site and punched those numbers into Amazon. They have some pretty good prices there. However, I found 2 different part numbers for the drums and I'm not sure what one to choose. One is 50 bucks and the other is 162 bucks. Here are the part numbers: 18B555 and 177-0916. I'm not sure what the difference is and Amazon says both will fit my truck. I appreciate any help on this!

 

Thanks!

Jeff

Ok, I think I might have figured it out. The less expensive ones are ACDelco Durastop part and the others are the OE Service parts. What do you guys recommend? There is quite a large difference in price unfortunately. Thanks for any help guys!

The old saying is usually true: You get what you pay for. I have bought cheaper parts before and they don't last. If you can afford it, get the best. Good luck!

They are not different sizes, the more expensive on is what comes on the vehicle from the factory and has a gm part number and you are paying for GM certification. What is interesting is that they only offer a 12 months warranty on the oe one but the durastop is lifetime, as far as brake warranties are of any use anyway. Either will be suitable or so would something from a company like centric, raybestos or wagner as long as you stick to their premium lines the quality is very good.

I guess the whole reason I wanted to go with ACDelco was because after I did the front brakes I have been getting squeaking from time to time. I didn't buy the cheapest parts either, so I figured I would be better off getting what the truck came with. I'll look and compare prices.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
