How to Take Care of the GMC Sierra 1500 Brake Disc and Pad Kit

The GMC Sierra 1500 is a huge hunk of rolling work horse. It has an engine powerful enough to pull tons of loads and keep up speed. The power plant is capable enough to move that kind of weight with so much ease that you don't feel the beast laboring hard when you mash to gas pedal. However, having a good engine and pulling power is just one part of the equation. The other side of it is the truck's capability to stop ahead of time. For this, engineers in the General Motors factory installed the GMC Sierra 1500 brake disc and pad kit on the truck. These handling components are meant to help you steer the petrol beast and bring it to a halt ahead of time. Making them work is key to your optimum driving experience and road safety. To ensure that it performs consistently on the road, you have to keep it well-maintained. Here are some tips on how to take care of the brake disc and pad kit of your truck. Read on comrade.

  • Aim to drive your truck as smoothly as possible.

First and foremost, we have to focus on your driving habits. As far-fetched as it may sound, driving smoothly with your GMC truck extends its benefits all the way to your brake system. Why is that? Smooth driving and acceleration allows your brakes to accommodate less resistance as compared to the amount of momentum that needs to be stopped during jackrabbit starts. Lesser friction means longer life for your brake components. If you do otherwise, you face the challenge of having to stomp on your brake pedal harder just to bring your truck to a stop. And in some cases, you fall short of stopping on time. That leads to an even worse scenario — an accident.

  • Anticipate stops to allow your truck to coast to a halt.

You have to make the most out of what your truck can do. In this case, it involved engine braking. As you anticipate at red light, let your truck coast in gear. The engine will help your truck slow down to a stop. That means lesser effort and friction for your brakes as well.

With a powerful truck like the GMC Sierra 1500, you need all the help you can get to be able to handle the behemoth properly. While it does not seem necessary on the drag strip, stopping power might come even more important than power whenever you are on the road. What use is a whopping horsepower and torque rating when you can't stop your truck when you need it to? This is the purpose of the GMC Sierra 1500 brake disc and pad kit. The engineers designed it in such way that it is able to counter the massive power that churns out of the truck's capable engine. But as you use it through and through, the brake components also wear down due to friction and a whole lot of other elements. Since you want a safe and manageable driving experience every time you are on the road, you should know the tell-tale signs of braking components that are about to give up on you. Here are a few things that you need to watch out when diagnosing the brake disc and pad kit.

Sudden and uncontrolled steering while you are coming to a stop

Your GMC Sierra 1500 is already equipped with a brake disc and pad kit for a good reason: it gives you a more precise braking capability. It means that you can come to a stop at a shorter distance without unexpected steering reactions as a result of your brakes not working simultaneously. This has been the problem of vehicles equipped with front drum brakes before. As they come to a full stop, the vehicle had the tendency to steer either left or right. With healthy disc brake components, this should not be an issue. However, if this manifests with your set, then you might have a caliper stuck with the disc.

Disturbing hissing noise when you apply the brakes

The concept behind brake disc and pad kit is that a caliper clamps down on the disc to make your truck stop. Therefore, you should always expect that there is friction every time you use your brakes. However, if you hear a disturbing hissing noise when you brake, that means that your pads are already worn out. Have them replaced immediately!

A Short Course on BrakesWhen you step on the brake pedal, you are actually pushing against a plunger in the master cylinder, which forces hydraulic oil (brake fluid) through a series of tubes and hoses to the braking unit at each wheel.
