my comment was actually that any small improvement to the front brakes would make more difference than upgrading the rear to disc. there just isnt enough benefit, supposed or actual, to warrant the cost unless its a "free" upgrade like switching rear ends.
whitedog, you are right, get a drum wet and you will see very quickly why most everything is front disc today. but comparing an 02 to an 82, come on man.

I brought this up last year, said the same things (marketing, wouldnt notice if the rears were disconnected) and I think a GM truck engineer actually replied and agreed. I will dig it up.
