Hello, I have a 2003 silverado ext cab. I have about 45k on the clock and heard some squeekin so I figured the pads were bad. I figured that they shouldn't be that bad, but I like to know that I have more than enough pads left. I took the weels off and found that the pads weren't that bad on the outside, and the inside weren't wore to the scrapers. I then felt the rotors. The inside of both front rotors were rusting and chipping apart. I couldn't believe it. I've never had them rust. Grind, groves,etc... yes , but not rust. I had to buy new rotors and pads for the front. I just wondered if anyone here has had this problem. Now I have oem bindix brakes from advantced auto on there, and am going to buy new from napa. I WILL NEVER BUY FROM ADVANTCED AUTO AGAIN! Just in case someone from there is reading this... They are noisier than leaving the rusty rotors on. They suck. in my opinion. Sorry for the long post. Thanks,
