Why Ceramic on the GMT800

• Low dust - the original GMT800 factory pad was semi-metallic; a ceramic replacement keeps the wheels much cleaner
• Quieter under braking than semi-metallic, matters more as the truck ages
• Better cold bite than the original OE ceramic - solid daily-driver upgrade
• Right choice for the 1500 half-ton - if you tow above 8,000 lb or drive an Avalanche 2500 platform, consider semi-metallic instead

Install Notes

• Torque caliper bracket bolts to GM service spec (typically 148 ft-lb bracket on GMT800)
• Silicone caliper grease on slider pins - not chassis grease
• Bed pads: 8-10 medium stops from 40 to 10 mph, then 2-3 harder stops from 60 to 15 mph, air-cool between
• Replace with new rotors if the old rotors are grooved, blue-tinted, or below MIN TH stamp
• Retract piston fully with a pad-spreader tool before install
