Replacing 4x4 brake rotors - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SoCalSlaughter · 08-18-2011, 01:02 AM

I have a 1990 V2500 4X4 Suburban, and my brakes have been making noise and all that. The rotors are stock, pretty sure factory. I was wondering what would be cheaper. Replacing the whole hub and rotor assembly or pressing out the hubs and pressing them into new rotors. I work at a auto parts store, so I can get the rotors discounted.

Replace the rotors. Cheaper and not that hard to do.

I got the hole hub and all at O'reilly's 69.00

thats a good deal. Just make sure that the splines for the lockouts is correct, I have been bitten by cheap hubs that were worthless before, but they were from autozone.

This brings back memories of the old bell helmets ad campaign..... "IF YOU'VE GOT A TEN DOLLAR HEAD BUY A TEN DOLLAR HELMET"

Are those the 2-piece like they should be?

Stoney · 08-31-2011, 08:16 AM

Yes, they are just like NOS. I haven't any problems.

thirdstreettito · 08-31-2011, 01:24 PM

How many miles do you have on them?

Stoney · 08-31-2011, 02:07 PM

2,000

Stoney · 08-31-2011, 10:45 PM

Is there something I should know about?

thirdstreettito · 09-01-2011, 08:07 AM

I was just wondering how many miles you have on them, our 83 needs rotors, the O'Reilly hub/rotors cost the same as just a rotor. Hmm...

Stoney · 09-01-2011, 08:53 AM

I have had no problems.
