Looking into '02-05 GMC 2500HD D/A 4x4 Crews.

How often do the brakes need to be serviced on these trucks?

My husband's Dodge (and I've heard this about Ford SD trucks too) has to have pads, calipers and sometimes rotors replaced about every 50k miles.

I had to do rear brakes around 83K, fronts had new pads around 40K and still have more than half the life left. Brake wear on these trucks is awesome.

i can count on one hand the number of trucks I have seen brakes go out on... I know of many 200k + trucks with original brakes...

I had a 1999 1500 I traded on my 2500HD. 80K and the brakes were still in fine shape.

It will all depend on how hard you are on the brakes and what you do with them, such as hard stops, pulling etc. Some will get like Dmax said over 200K while I have seen some have to be done at 35K... Driver will depend..
