I had all my brakes replaced, including rotors in November 2006 at 66895 miles. I have never been thrilled with the braking application on this Gas powered 2002 dually, since day one. I keep the maintenance on this truck as best as I can. Since I had the brakes replaced in 2006 due to bad rotors. I have only used it for towing less than 10,000 miles since that time. In December 2008, I replaced all brake pads, which still had over 50% lining left (just my preventative maintenance) and the rotors looked good. In December of 2010, I had it into the dealer for an unrelated repair and the mechanic found that the rear rotors were totally worn out again, but the pads had about 50 % material still left on them. There was no facing left on the rotors. This dually eats up brakes like there is no tomorrow and has poor braking qualities.
In August of 2010, I had an ABS brake sensor fail and while the ABS light was on the braking action was far superior to anything that I had. I drove for two weeks until I replaced both front sensors (one defective and the other one I broke the connector on while testing). After resetting the ABS light, the braking action went back to poor as it has been most of the life of this truck.
I believe that GM needs to address the braking quality of these dually trucks. I'd also like to see ABS being selectable, especially when towing a trailer.
