replacing front brake pads on 2019

[chris918]

so the brake pad monitor claims I only have 20% life left in the front pads BS I have like 8k miles on truck. regardless eventually I'll need to replace them I do most of the work myself I looked online for pads and like everything else for this truck I couldn't find a single set of pads. has anyone changed pads ? gone to chevy for them to replace them ect.... ?

There are a few threads on here about the brake pad monitor.   Basically a lot of them are not to be trusted.   Check the thickness of the pads yourself and not with the monitor.   At 8k your pads should be almost new.

Somebody would have to be a driving fool to have enough miles to replace them already.  I'm sure someone has, but they're too busy driving to reply.

I know I don't need pads yet that monitor is on crack lol. I'm just curios what people have done to replace them cause I couldn't find anywhere to buy pads online.

GM just released a TSB about brake shimmy and premature wear but I think it's only on the K2xx body style (which includes the 2019 "LD" model):

Right now it's likely a dealer item for new pads.

 

Haven't seen aftermarket solutions from the parts store yet.

Rockauto has them listed for our 2019's.

You should be able to get 80k miles or more from pads and rotors on these newer trucks unless you pull trailers a lot.
