I put a set of PowerStop Z36 on my 2008 Silverado 1500 w/ rear drums and the improvement in brake performance was substantial.
Honestly I used to like powerstops until i put a set of them on on my 16 and they seemed to go out of round in one year. Switched the acdelco towing rated ones on rock auto and they have been the best. Not only over 2.5 years with them still smoothly operating, but the fitment was the best. Everything went together as it should, no need to even file a single ear on the pad.
Put 306k miles in 13 years, on my brand new '07 Silverado 1/2 Ton before I sold it to a mechanic at my preferred shop (leak in the fuel system/tank that was going to require removing the bed etc).\n\nPrior to that issue, I never had a single thing go wrong with it. Tires, brake pads (original set lasted 200k miles), oil/tranny fluid changes, air filters, wiper blades, were all it ever needed.
I put 167k on a company owned 08 Silverado 4.8l. Oil, brakes and tires were all it ever needed and I beat the snot out of that truck.
Changed my front pads on 2021 Silverado and had same issue. Dash lit up with warnings and checking engine light. Disconnected battery for 30 plus minutes, pressed brake pedal 2/3rd way down and held for 45 seconds and released slowly, waited 15 seconds and repeated. Did this process for the entire 30 minutes. Reconnected negative terminal on battery and that cleared all warnings except check engine light. Drove for short distance and engine light went off. Just can’t reset my brake pad wear setting, so thinking new sensor may be bad so I ordered a OEM replacement.
