For 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Ext. Cab. 6.0 Liter V8 Code U.
After 25,000 miles still going strong. Wearever Platinum Premium Ceramic Brake Pads (4-Pad Set) Part No. PNAD785. also change
Wearever Brake Rotor - Front Part No. YH145316.
Also Change factory Caliper Guide Pin-Bolts with
Wearever Caliper Guide Pin-Bolt Kit Part No. H5078. For a Lady to me 4 hours to do.
PB Blaster and Anti-Seize Lubricant is a must for next replacement of Brake pads or rotors.
For a man may take less time to do.

i expected better
i put these pads in a 1999 chevy silverado and what a pain. i had to keep grinding edges, and filing out spots because they werent stamped right and they just fit terrible. i probably wont buy wearever pads again. these are the premium ones, so they will probably last a while, hopefully forever, but if replaced, i will definitely go with another brand.

2001 Suburban 1500. They are very quiet and make zero dust so far after 400 miles.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Ceramic pads that work well but leave a lot of brake dust
Submitted a year ago
Overall great brake pads. Only thing keeping them from being 5 stars is that they leave rims horribly dusty and that's not ideal at all. Ceramic pads aren't supposed to leave a lot of dust but these are probably some of the worst pads I've ever had for dust on rims.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
One word: JUNK!
Submitted 2 years ago
I have never bought the "Professional Platinum" pads before and never will again. I have never had to grind more material off a pad just to get it to fit. And yes, the brackets were clean of scaly rust and the clips were installed properly. Not my first rodeo changing out some pads and rotors. Love paying more and getting less in return….
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

These replaced the front brake pads on my 2004 Silverado 1500. They come with grease and clips. They fit and work good.

On these pads, which one is the inner and which is the outer? One pad has 2 wear indicators and one has only one. Other than that, they are identical.

I purchased front brake pads for my 2000 GMC Yukon xl 2500. The old pads had 2 silver clips on the outer pad and one silver clip on the bottom side of the inner pad. The new pad Wearever Platinum Professional has only one silver clip on all for pads in the box. For the outer pad is the silver clip installed on the bottom or top.

I ordered rear brake pads for my 2000 GMC Yukon XL 2500. I don't know which pad is the inner or the outer pad. Two of the pads have 2 silver clips. Two of the pads only have one silver clip. I assume the one silver clip is the inner pad. Should the silver clip be on top or bottom. The pads are Wearever Platinum Professional.

If the clips are mounted in the center of the back of the pad then I would guess (without seeing it) that they are the inner pads. That clip will probably fit inside the piston. Hope that helps
I have a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe LT 5.3 Gas - Dual Piston Caliper. What would be the correct brake pads to purchase. I was looking for the ceramic Platinum Professional. Thanks

Hi Tahoe Joe, I'm glad to assist you! This Platinum Professional Ceramic Brake Pads Set - Part #PXD785H will fit your 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe.
Why are there 2 brass washers included with these pads? I would think one is for the bolt that connects the flex line to the calliper but what is the second one for?
Verified Reply - Solomon
I'm glad to assist you! According to the manufacturer, they may have been in the kit by mistake. They do not included anything like this in the pad kits.
