#77 of 79 Re: 2003 Tahoe rear brake wear? [evilz] by jarrodr Nov 28, 2008 (1:51 pm)
Replying to: evilz (Feb 10, 2007 10:04 am) I am seeing the same problem with my 2001 Suburban 4WD. The rear brakes are shot everytime I go in...in only a few thousand miles since the last time. Personally, I don't even think the front brakes are working as I cannot get this beast to stop. After $4500 in brakes in 3 years I have parked it. It is dangerous to drive and 4 different mechanics have done nothing but put new parts in with virtually no improvement in braking. There is something terribly wrong with the brakes on this truck. I am DISGUSTED with it. I prefer my old 1993 Bronco...tip toe the brakes and they start to grab. fantastic things...and only $14 for a caliper and they are the simplest things too.   Anyone know of an aftermarket system from master cylinder all the way through calipers pad, drums, rotors that will work here?

Replying to: deanstinger (Mar 18, 2009 4:46 pm) It was all part of the repairs which cost over $600, but I believe the axle alone, with nothing else was over $300 of that...and that was several years ago. If you have one replaced, DO BOTH even if they tell you it isn't necessary. That's what they told me and 12 months later I was paying the $300 plus again to have the other backing plate replaced.
