Rotors are the PPV rotors for 2020 gmc 1500, and the Z36 power stop pads.

The rear is 2020 Camaro SS rear calipers, Z26 power stop pads.

Hell yeah! This has been on my bucket list for a while, I just haven't had the time. I'm looking forward to reading your review. When you have time would you mind posting the part numbers you used?

I don't know the parts book like you do so excuse my ignorance. What makes this combination an "Upgrade"?

4 piston calipers are the biggest thing. 

Police vehicle rotors are ceramic coated and the pads are carbon fiber ceramic.

I'm guessing my 17" factory steel wheels will not work with this setup? :dunno:

I don't believe so. On the front anyways you can do the rear I believe. When I get to the install of this, I will test fit the spare on the rear to give you an answer for 17's on rear at least.

So my current 20's on my 2014 will clear the new front calipers with very little trimming on the calipers. My 22's on the 18 took more trimming to clear. Also ordered a couple of replacement wheels for the spare tires that will clear the calipers. I will add more info later, I just did some test fitting for front today.

Here's a 17in aluminum spare tire wheel that will clear the calipers. I might consider a set of these for winter tires myself.

Following. Spacers for the front calipers? Do they bolt up to the same wars without an adapter?

 

Thanks,

I don't like running spacers on my wheels. You do have to add shims to the caliper mounts to center up the calipers. I will post pictures of this when they get here, they are just m14 flat washers. I do have to trim a tiny amount off the calipers for my factory 20's to clear. If you want to run 17's you'll have to get a set off a 2019+ truck, or get aftermarket wheels with the correct spacing to clear. My aftermarket 22's on my 18 requires more trimming on the calipers to clear the wheels. The attached pictures the calipers with marker lines are what I need to shave down for my 20's to fit. The other is what I had to do for my 22's to fit. I may switch wheels before I do the brake job on the 18. 20240620_155109.thumb.jpg.e1288e1210bc623f1ea43ac5bf792c5f.jpg17189131001902366362312637789747.thumb.jpg.3dc160415ad1c662b6417d2528d7a62c.jpg

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
