I changed my rotors to the drilled slotted Detroit Axle rotors on my Silverado. I was skeptical because of the price but I’m very pleased with their products.
@@michaelspeer1339 I have used them for roughly 3 years now on all my car. For the rotor It last me up to 70k for my most recent car. The other one lasted roughly 80-90k now. The brake pad lasted me 35-40k miles. Which is standard I would say to drive over 15k miles a year lol. I drive alot and it last. Of course I check my brake pad every month (just looking through the wheel and seeing the bad depth). I would say for 160ish with tax and shipping for all 4 rotor and brake pad it's a bargain!!!
@@ElementTijuana The slots should point forward to activate before allowing debris from forming. With the slots facing away, it allows that debris to build onto the rotor. That makes the brakes working hard and the pads wear down faster.
Hey bro in 2 days am picking up a 1991 acura legend in Austin Tx it needs a paint jod badly, I live in Wichita kansas, about how much would you charge to re paint it ,she's a beauty and needs some love.could be good content for your channel as well.
I just helped my buddy install this exact kit on his 2009 LTZ Tahoe. Pretty good kit, everything is as described. Few things... His passenger rear was exactly like yours...somehow he burned through the pad and it destroyed the rotor and piston in the caliper. You should replace that whole caliper assembly...like $80 for the preloaded set up.. since that was metal on metal, i guarantee you the rear piston is shot...it may function but it super heated and is brittle now. Never Ever let your pads get that bad. Your seals were also probably shot and not working right..they are not designed to be heated up that much. Replacing those costs maybe a couple bucks. I didn't see you use the new hardware for the rear set and I didnt see any lubrication on any of the components...that stuff is essential or youll have bad squeaking and noise. Its cheap so you should be pretty liberal with it as long as you dont get any on the pads. The rotor direction also doesnt matter unless the venting inside the rotor is directional...if its perpendicular to the rotor (stick a screwdriver down in the vent, if it sticks straight out, its perpendicular) then you can face the rotors in either direction. Over all it was a great video and how-to, but some of those little things i mentioned are key for brake jobs. Theres no fun in doing it halfway then having to jack everything up and do it all over again after you start hearing squeaking.
Definitely wouldn’t mind seeing more tahoe content. I’ve also got an ‘07 and I’m always looking for ideas. I Raptor lined the body a little over a year ago with my son, it’s crazy how many compliments and thumbs up i get. Did it in body color with metallics in there too. Keep up the good content.
Just bought mine because Las Vegas is Hot 🔥 and traveling to California has down hills , Mountains so you want good stopping power and rotors cool easily. Thanks👍
I have bought from Detroit Axle for over 10 yrs, never any issues. Rotors come with a white sticker to designate their placement on the vehicle. Added bonus is they include brake cleaner and fluid all in one convenient heavy duty box, nicely packaged. Use these for 4 different vehicles never any problems and great quality. Fast shipping also.
I bought Detroit Axle brakes and rotors set for my 2008 Chevy Impala. Looking forward to getting a Detroit Axle brakes & rotors kit for my Chevy trailblazer. Might try the slotted & drilled rotors. Quality parts for a good price!
If the cooling vanes on the inside if the disc are vertical it doesn't matter which way the slots are oriented. I always put them on "backwards" just to mess with people.
That rotor bolt is a pain, but if you use a hammer and drive the screwdriver in, while turning, it'll usually break the seal and move. 2 things, you are the first I've ever seen mention the reservoir when compressing the caliper, makes a tone of sense, and ceramic grease on the slider pins!
You put the rotors on backwards bro you want the rotors to cut into the brake pads to release any trapped gas but I have seen it work before just not how it was designed..
everything is fine except for one detail... you put that perforated rotor upside down, that one goes on the left side because those rotors have a direction of rotation
If you don't put the grease fitting in they don't last long and they are supposed to have a good amount of resistance when swiveled "O your bad" My Detroit axle complete front suspension parts kit replacement parts are going 4 years strong and the truck hardly sleeps 4 stars, cons availability only online.
I’m about to purchase a set of front brake pads for my LX470 (Landcruiser) which I currently have a set of BRAKEMOTIVE slotted/drilled zinc rotors and ceramic pads from maybe 4yrs ago! I’m going to do 1 pad slap before doing a new complete set. I think these companies source the same parts. Brake Motive even had stickers that Powerstop had! Z16 on pad backing plates so I “think” they all share parts! They work really well!
I will never buy these brakes and rotors again. I'm actually trying to get my money back. They have THE MOST dust I have ever seen! Plus I followed their instructions to bed the brakes - after 500+ miles - still grinding. HATE THEM!
Sorry to tell you this, but according to a specialized site that I consulted your perforated disc's and grooves at the outside of your disc brakes are pointing to the wrong direction. If you let them turn in the other direction it gives more "bite" to the disc pad brakes. The only thing which can change are the positions of the vents mounted inside of the ventilated disc brakes. If the are inclined you have to follow their inclination, if they are straight you have to follow the direction as I earlier specified.
On a power stop rotors video it says to put the slots facing towards the rear of the vehicle so they can vent properly. However on here they're saying you put your brake rotors on backwards if the veins on the inside of the rotors are straight up and down does it really matter though?
I got the Detroit axle conventional kit, everything was fine for about a year and then they started grinding up front swapped pads from left to right grinding one away for another year. It was sounding bad but I after inspection no defects found so I replaced the pads and had the rotors turned so far so good. I contacted them for warranty and they wanted me to ship them back, that was cost prohibitive big time. I'm going to go with a different brand next time, I have six vehicles so lots to choose.
I installed slotted rotors on my Tundra because I tow a 27’ Airstream. After 6 months I developed a brake vibration. I contacted Detroit Axle because of the 10 year warranty. They blamed the pads (Toyota) and would not cover them. They’re poor quality, cheap rotors with no support from Detroit Axle when they go bad. Don’t waste your money.
Why would they warranty something that isn't from them and may have damaged their product? Standard pads aren't meant for cross drilled or slotted rotors. Ever.
Brother, I like that you don't mind spending money to have the right tools. But I hate to see you breaking your elbows on that old 4 way tire tool. DeWalt DCF899 is what you need. I do not work for them, I make no money if you buy one. Just a friendly tip.
😂Oh yes! Brakes are much higher now, and lots of braking power! I had some footage out on a test drive, but from inside the tahoe it doesn't look any different, and I didn't have anyone to record 3rd person.
Bought these Exact Rotos (Detroit Axle) for My 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and when I tell You they Work well THEY WORK even on My F'd Up Tires 😂🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ but Any How GREAT Review and Bonus Install Bro Shout Out from TEXAS The Truck State 🛻 🚙🤠🇨🇱
