[QUOTE="Sealesniper, post: 3086067, member: 20769"] All three of my Chevy trucks have over 300K miles and ALL still run original front axle components. I have put brakes on the Suburban and Duramax, but my 2003 Avalanche still runs the original brake pads on the front and rear. I know many will say BS, but I do all my own maintenance and every year or three I pull the tires off and check the brake pads. They are worn, but not down to the wear indicators. It is now a challenge to see how far they will go. Currently have over 320,000 miles on them. I have been through 4 sets of tires, 2 fuel pumps, 14 front windshields, all the door window motors, both cats and one O2 sensor, but the rest of the truck is factory original. I do rotate the tires, but normally only every 8-10,000 miles and visually inspect brakes. I only remove the caliper assembly every couple years to verify the pads. [/QUOTE]
