2014-2018 Silverado 1500 Brake Kit – Front & Rear Drilled & Slotted Rotors, Ceramic Pads, Chevy, GMC Sierra 1500, 2015-2020 Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon XL, Escalade ESV
2014-2018 Silverado 1500 Brake Kit – Front and Rear Rotors with Ceramic Pads
This 2014-2018 Silverado 1500 brake kit renews the brakes at all four wheels of the Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, and the supplier also lists it for 2015–2020 Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, Yukon XL and Escalade models. In the box are two front rotors, two rear rotors and ceramic pads for both axles. The front rotors measure 13 inches (330 mm) and the rears 13.6 inches (344.8 mm). Easy Life Markets sells the set complete.
These GM trucks and SUVs are used for everything from towing boats to carrying a family and their luggage. The brakes take the punishment. Rotors warp slightly or score, pads wear down, and the driver feels a shudder, hears a squeal or notices the truck needs more road to stop. Replacing rotors and pads together on both axles is the most reliable way to get a firm, quiet pedal back. If you want to read up first, the disc brake article covers how the system works.

Before You Order
With this many models and exceptions, take five minutes to check your own vehicle:
- Measure the rotors. Fronts should be 13 inches (330 mm) and rears 13.6 inches (344.8 mm).
- Confirm rear discs. The Silverado and Sierra listings are for trucks with disc brakes on all four wheels.
- Check for special packages. Police package Tahoe and Yukon models are excluded, and so are Escalades with the Brembo brake package.
- Count the studs. The rotors pictured are 6-lug.
- Run the VIN. A GM parts catalogue will confirm the brake option fitted at the factory. You can also send us your VIN and we will help you check it.
How the Rotors and Pads Are Made
The rotors are cast in HT250 iron, which the supplier describes as heavy-duty and resistant to deformation. They are drilled and slotted. In the supplier's words, this lets them cool quickly under heavy loads or during emergency braking and stops water and dust from building up. The surface is galvanized to prevent corrosion, which helps both durability and appearance.
The pads are primarily ceramic. The supplier says they resist wear and fade well and make less dust in use. Their chamfered edges help the pad sit snugly against the rotor, and that reduces noise.
Signs Your Brakes Need Replacing
- The truck shudders when braking from highway speed
- Squealing in normal driving, or grinding when the pads are finished
- Grooved, cracked or heat-marked rotor faces
- A noticeable ridge at the rotor's outer edge
- Reduced braking with a trailer or a full load
Installation Tips
- Lift and support the vehicle safely on rated stands.
- Unbolt the caliper and bracket, and support the caliper so the hose does not stretch.
- Remove the old rotor and clean the hub flange down to clean metal.
- Remove any protective oil from the new rotors with brake cleaner.
- Seat the new hardware clips, grease the slide pins and fit the pads.
- Torque everything to the service manual specification, refit the wheels and torque the wheel nuts.
- Pump the pedal before starting off, then bed the pads with a series of moderate stops.
We advise professional installation for brake components. They are safety-critical, and a qualified mechanic will also check the calipers, hoses and fluid while the wheels are off.
Drilled and Slotted Rotors on a Truck
Owners who tow often choose this rotor style because it copes better with repeated heavy stops than a plain rotor. Expect a faint whirr from the slots under braking. That is normal, and so is slightly faster pad wear compared with smooth rotors. Inspect the pads at each tyre rotation.
Who This Kit Is For
It is for owners of the listed GM half-ton trucks and full-size SUVs, fleet managers and workshops who want a complete front and rear set from one supplier. It is not for police package vehicles or Escalades with Brembo brakes.
Common Questions
Is this a genuine GM or ACDelco kit? No. It is an aftermarket kit. The parts in the photos carry VEVOR markings.
Does it fit a 2019 Silverado 1500? The redesigned 2019 Silverado 1500 is not on the supplier's chart. The 2019 Sierra 1500 Limited is.
Will it fit trucks with rear drum brakes? No. The supplier lists 4-wheel disc models.
