Upgrade to dual rear piston, and 05+ fronts?

[Jennabear]

No issues. But just like all rotors and pads, they should be seasoned and go through break in.

I had EBC Dimpled/Slotted on my last truck, and I still have them laying in the garage for when my stock ones are shot on my current truck. I think I have around 10,000 miles or so on them, and they still look new. No cracks or anything.

Awesome, thanks for the info on them. The EBC's are the only rotor I can find with good reviews for a decent price

I noticed while looking up rear dual piston calipers for a 00-06 Burb that NAPA lists two styles of calipers. One is for 2WD and the other is for 4WD burbs. The one for the 2WD seems a little rounder at the top, but I selected the ones for a 4WD, considering my truck is 4WD. Or does it matter which one I go with, will they both mount up? Thanks

Not sure. You will be doing the swap before I do it. I have to do gears first

I just ordered the pads and rotors. will be headed to NAPA sometime this week to order the semi loaded calipers. Guess I will find out real quick if they fit or not. Gonna test fit everything to make sure it fits with my wheels. If they do, I'm gonna go ahead and paint them red. Figured might as well do it now before installing them

 

 

And 3.73's on your truck is gonna be sick. Could probably get tires to turn almost into 3rd. Help you tow better and keep your trans. temp. down as well

With 3.42's towing 2000 pounds I hunt 3-4 on the highway. I know I will hunt with the big trailer but wanting to take off better with it

Before core returns total for calipers came to about 400. Rotors and brakes were somewhere around 500. So 900 before core return is pretty good. That also doesn't include the stainless braided lines. The guy at the parts counter didn't seem to care what kind of caliper I return, but I guess I might have to return it with a bracket since I bought it that way. Might just keep my calipers since they are still good. Will post pics and how install went once I'm finished. Will give a review once I had enough time to use them long enough

For hydroboost, what all would be needed? I'm guessing the hydro boost pedal and the appropriate hoses?

[Chris]

brake booster with pedal, power steering pump, master cylinder. All from a 2500HD. I may be doing C6 Z06 brakes on my truck if I get the adapters

Haven't installed the brakes yet, but I'll give a review once I'm done and had em for a week or so. I'm sure it could save you some money if they perform well

[Chris]

I can do the 6 piston z06 brakes if I can get the brackets. The 05 would have been a temporary thing for me. I'm waiting on brackets to be made. Like another month or so.

I looked for it for my truck and my truck had the option of hydroboost. Couldn't I just purchase those items? I'm sure its the same part.

 

And I saw there were different calipers for hydroboost and vacuum boosted brake systems, I wouldn't have to swap these as well, would I?

[Chris]

There isnt a need to. It is easier to find the parts from a 2500HD. You can get some of them from a salvage yard

[LongrangeLauber]

If I were to do it I would probably buy new. I don't normally trust items from a salvage yard. Plus, around here the prices are rediculous for used auto parts. Might as well spend a little bit more to get them new
