H2 Brake Squeek
I bought my H2 used in 2005, and the dealer told me he just put on new pads/rotors.
After owning the truck for 6 months the brakes began to squeel.
I took the truck back to the dealer and he said that the pads were good, and that sometimes they "just squeek".
About 6 months ago I couldn't handle the squeek anymore so I took it to a GM dealer, paid $50 and was told the brakes were good.
Today I took the truck to a Midas shop. The mechanic showed me a pad and told me that the pad was seperating from the metal. He showed me what looked like a slight gap where the pad meets the metal housing, and said that this was the source of the squeek. He told me I need pads and rotors all around. Roughly $1100.
I'm not a mechanic, so I would like to hear if anyone has had a pad seperate from the metal. Is this possible, or am I being played?
If required, I can pull a pad off this weekend, take a picture and post the image.
Thanks.
