2001 Z-71 shortbed How hard to replace all the rotors and pads? Any special tools? Dealer wanted a $1,000 to do it. Another place wanted $700 and would stand behind their work.

Replying to: mailman2 (Apr 17, 2006 6:11 pm) brake job................. Of course they are gonna want to replace the pads, rotors, calipers and poss. the brake hose(s) and just about anything else that MAY be "marginal" !!!!!!!!!!!! Remember that word LIABILITY ? It rears its UGLY head where safety items are required............. While any brake job is NOT for the inexperienced. It is easily done in a short time by a experienced "shadetree" mechanic. A set of good pads are under $30. A rotor "cut" is $10 bucks each, a replacement rotor on a 4x4 is anywhere from $50 to $150 each and a set of rebuilt calipers is under $50!............. Where are you getting these prices and what is included ?????????

But to be FAIR......."THOSE" vehicles NEVER have problems! Just ask any of their owners here in "fantasyland"!!!!! Did I mention the titan? Thats another "perfect one" too! ..........LOL !!!!!!!!!

Replying to: mailman2 (Apr 18, 2006 6:18 am) Personally, if you could just call around and ask how much they would charge to install pads and rotors with you providing the parts to get a better idea on their labor charge. And if opting for that route, I'd definitely would pick up my own parts and watch them install it. One last thing...try to stay away from Midas....lol.

This is a known NPG tran. case prob. and is well noted on a few GM truck sites along with pics and cures............... Some guys use JB Weld, another guy used a pan screw along with a washer and sealer. Will dig up link for ya !
