Front disc brake pads wear out too quickly. I only have 17,000 miles on the current pads and they are worn out. I contacted GMC. They say they are sorry but that's the way the brakes are on that year of truck. They say there is no after market fix for this. GMC literature on their new 2000 Sierra trucks say the pads are "4 times" larger than on previous trucks. This tells me GM was aware of a problem and corrected it on their new trucks but haven't done anything to assist owners of older trucks. I feel GM should be required to manufacture an after market caliper with larger pads for installation on older trucks in order to correct the problem with their undersized brakes. I tow a trailer and this has especially been a concern of mine due to the added weight going down the highway. I have a friend at work that has the same truck but his is a 1994 model. He says he has the same problem with his truck and he is not very happy with this situation either. As a side note, I purchased the truck from alfred matthews in modesto, ca., however I have been having all of my maintenance work performed by geweke GMC in manteca, ca. Because they are much closer to where I live. I have not contacted alfred matthews about any of these problems. I have only discussed these problems with geweke personnel. Thank you.

On regular road conditions when applying the brakes the vehicle pulls to the right. The front brakes pads were replaced, and rotors resurfaced at 18,000 miles. At 25,000 replaced front right rotor assembly, and at 27,000 replaced caliper assembly. At 28,500 increased clearance between calipers and brakes pads. Vehicle still pulls to the right when applying the brakes.
