Is anyone having problems with the new body style brake set up?? My truck's brakes are squeeking and squealing when coming to a stop!  It also feels like the rotors are warped??  I hate it!  I had this same problem with my 06 Silverado!  When I owned my 01 and 03HD I never had problems with my brake system!  On the 01 and 03HD, I had disc brakes all around.  I went over 80k miles on both of them on the original disc brakes and pads!  I am thinking that it is the front disc and crappy rear drum set up!  Is there anything I can do??  Maybe an upgrade kit??? I was thinking about converting the rear drum to a rear disc!  I think to accomplish this i would have to purchase the 07 Chevy Max rear axle!  Does Anyone have any suggestions!  Any help or advise would be great!  Thanks!

not to familar with the new brake systems but should work in the same general way i imagine, am an old school fan of the 70's and 80's brake systems myself. it really sad that they are making vehicles of chevy's these days and the dam brake systems don't even work like they should! soory i can't help u with this one and still driving the old school chevy rods for ever man.

I'm surprised they are still making newer trucks with drums. I don't keep up with newer trucks but I thought by now they would come out with discs for both front/rear.
