How often should you change your 2009 GMC Sierra 1500’s brake pads? It depends on you and your driving style. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your Sierra 1500. Some brake pad materials last longer than others.

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your GMC  Sierra 1500. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal.
