Replacing Your GMC Sierra 2500 HD’s Brake Pads

How often should you change your 2011 GMC Sierra 2500 HD’s brake pads? It largely depends on where and how you drive. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. If you drive mostly on the highway and tend to brake smoothly (as opposed to slamming on the brakes), your brake pads may last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. Your brake pad replacement interval also depends on what kind of brake pads you have on your Sierra 2500 HD right now. Are you still driving with the same pads as when you bought the car? Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers brake pad replacement for GMC Sierra 2500 HDs that comes with a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your Sierra 2500 HD, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass GMC’s standards.

GMC Sierra 2500 HD Brake Repair

Your GMC Sierra 2500 HD may be powered by a strong engine. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. Don't wait if you're experiencing brake squeaks or a loss of braking power. Safe driving is difficult when your brakes are anything but their best. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For instance, rotors may start to warp when you drive on worn brake pads, shortening the life of healthy parts due to the metal on metal grinding that occurs. We can help prevent that damage from happening. Go to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 2011 GMC Sierra 2500 HD brake repairs. We offer many affordable brake repairs like brake pad/shoe replacement, rotor/drum resurfacing, brake fluid exchange, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder installation.

Answers to Your Sierra 2500 HD Brakes Questions

  • What is causing my Sierra 2500 HD to shake when I brake? Your Sierra 2500 HD could shake when you brake due to worn brake pads or rotors, warped rotors, loose or worn suspension components, or faulty brake calipers. You can always schedule a free brake inspection at the first sign of strange brake behavior.
  • What is the total number of brake pads on my Sierra 2500 HD? On most cars, each axle is equipped with four brake pads — two per front wheel and two per back wheel. The front wheels usually work harder to help stop your Sierra 2500 HD, so don’t be surprised if your front brake pads wear out faster than your rear brake pads.
  • How often do I need to replace my Sierra 2500 HD brake pads? In general, brake pads can last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving on highways mostly and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan.
  • Is it bad if my Sierra 2500 HD is leaking brake fluid when off? Your Sierra 2500 HD has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.
