When should you change the brake pads on your 1992 GMC K1500? It depends on you and your driving style. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your K1500. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers GMC K1500 brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads.

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your GMC  K1500. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, shortening the life of healthy parts due to the metal on metal grinding that occurs.
