Warranty Details (Limited Lifetime Warranty)
Carquest Professional Platinum Truck/SUV brake pads are the optimal braking solution that provide an unmatched level of performance and reliability. These brake pads are engineered by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (O.E.M.) that meets IATF 16949 certified framework, an internationally recognized proof of quality in the automotive industry. We use an industry-leading number of friction formulations for maximum performance and extended pad life on each application. Carquest Professional Platinum brake pads also utilize a patented 4-layer HEX shim, now upgraded with aramid fibers, to provide quiet braking and reduce shim wear. These brake pads are also supplied with coated brake hardware and caliper pin grease for nearly every application. Carquest Professional Platinum brake pads are the ideal choice when looking for shorter stopping distances, quiet braking and longer-lasting brakes.

Product Features:
  • Industry-leading number of application specific formulations for maximum performance and extended pad life
  • On-vehicle testing similar to original equipment tests
  • Patented 4-Layer HEX Shim Technology provides quiet braking
  • HEX shim design utilizes aramid fibers, the same fibers used in bulletproof vests, to reduce shim wear
  • Burnishing compound allows for a faster break-in of pads and rotors
  • PTFE coated hardware and caliper pin grease included for nearly every application
  • Powder-coated backing plate prevents corrosion

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.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
CERAMICS ARE NICE!!
Staff Reviewer -
THESE BRAKES WERE RECOMMENDED TO ME BY A FRIEND THAT I WORK WITH AT ADVANCE AND I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE HEAT BEING A PROBLEM AS I LIVE IN THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE ISSUE OUT OF THEM. THEY HAVE PERFORMED GREAT EVER SINCE I INSTALLED THEM 2 MONTHS AGO. CERAMICS ARE HARDER ON ROTORS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE OF HARDER MATERIAL. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU REPLACE THE ROTORS WHEN YOU PUT THESE PADS ON OR AT LEAST GET THE ROTORS TURNED. ADVANCE HAS THE BEST PRICES ON CHASSIS AND BRAKE PARTS PERIOD...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Perfect replacement pads
Staff Reviewer -
These are great replacement pads for the LT Tahoe. Very quiet, no brake dust and paddle feels really firm. Great for standard replacement. I don't really tow anything so I can't comment on the braking power with extra weight. But brakes feel really strong with a car full of people. I would recommend these if your using the Tahoe as a family car.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
