@@montgomerycamjr I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the footage it captures. Thanks for supporting!
My 07 Tahoe has 20x10 -25 arkon off road wheels. Would these fit properly?
@@robertwilliams7188 I honestly can’t say because I don’t know the shape of the spokes on your wheels. You just have to make sure there’s enough room to clear the calipers.
Great tutorial. Are this brakes the same as the 2020 yukon xl denali?
@@ElMorroPerez Thank you! These are not the brakes from the 2020 Yukon XL Denali (I don’t think they were an option then). In fact, these brakes are bigger than the 4-piston brakes on my sister’s 2023 Yukon XL Denali. My understanding is GM started using these brakes in 2021 on the Tahoe PPV. However, I just looked at a build sheet for a 2024 Yukon XL Denali and these brakes are a $3,750 upgrade.
@wesdoug84 wow. Thank for the fast response.
Will this fit a 02 Chevy Tahoe
@@treyvionwilliams14 Yes, another guy in the comments got it to work on his ‘04. It should work for you too.
Nice ride out….thanks

Palms to pines hwy. One of my favorite rides.
@@tarnishedsquid2967 It surpassed my expectations. Glad I went on this ride and would love to go again!
On the road again!!! 💯✊🏾💯👊🏾💯🤟🏾
@@montgomerycamjr Lots of great rides!
Will these bolt up to a Silverado?
@@ZERO_42069 What year is the Silverado? If it’s a newer truck, it might bolt on with minimal, if any, modifications. If it’s an earlier model like my 2008 Yukon or older, then you might need to do some grinding like I had to do.
@ i got a 06 and a 23 i want to upgrade the brakes on the 23 and put the 4 piston brakes from my 23 on to my 06, those bolt on perfect just needs a spacer
@ I’m not certain, but the 6 piston brakes should bolt right onto your ‘23. What size are the rims on the ‘23?
@ factory 20s
@ Do you know the offset? If it’s bigger than +28 (mine was +31 and they rubbed) it won’t fit. The stock PPV rims are 20” with a +28 offset. The new rims I got are 22” with a +19 offset.

Does this work with a 2005 Denail?
@@thefrostyvette876 Yes, it should work similarly.
@ I got your list of things so I’ll see in a day or two when I try to install
@ Let me know how it goes. Just make sure your wheels are at least 20” with +28 or lower offset. My wheels are 22” with a +19 offset.
@ damn, I didn’t realize that you said these won’t fit with 20” wheels… I have 20” wheels 😢😢😢
@ I’ll keep you updated
Would love to see a brake test video for sure ! How does the pedal feel after this upgrade ?
@@tylerg.1023 The pedal feels great. I don’t have to use much brake to slow it down.
did you ahve to use a washer between caliper and knuckle to center?
@@highlanderc I did, but only used one washer. You can see it at 3:23 in the video.
Can this be done to my 2003 GMC Sierra?
@@Vanchero1955 Another guy did a similar big brake kit to his 2006 Yukon. I can’t say for sure, but I think it can work on your Sierra.
I see you post this video 3 months ago.. how is the ride quality?? Does it feel heavier? Cause I know this rotors weigh a lot more than stock.
@@gerardohernandezjr4738 Honestly, I was nervous about that, and at first I thought I could feel a difference as if it was heavier. However, I haven’t thought about it in months. The ride quality hasn’t changed in a way that bothers me and I love how the braking power has improved.
@@wesdoug84 yes that’s what I’m worry about but You can’t beat the looks and the stopping power. Another thing I’m worry is the wheel hub bearing might die faster since it is heavier.
@@gerardohernandezjr4738 That’s a valid concern. I’m not sure if the wheel hub bearings from my Yukon differ much from the 2021 Tahoe PPV.
Not trying to be rude, but 50lbs won't change the ride at all.
@@ElMorroPerez Honestly, 7 months later, I can’t tell a difference in weight, but I feel confident every time I press the brake pedal!
So any 20 inch rim with a 28 offset will fit?
@@Legendary_Frank I can’t say for certain, however, the rims on the PPV are 20” steel wheels with a +28 offset.
Would this work on a 04 GMT800?
@@th4bl4ckm4n I honestly can’t say for sure if it will work. From what I’ve researched, the beauty of GM is that you can pretty much bolt on new upgraded equipment to previous generations. My understanding is some GMT800s came with the same front brakes from the GMT900. However, I’m not sure if that means it would work for certain.
@@wesdoug84 Confirmation: it works brother. I bought the Cadillac Escalade V brakes and put em on. Bolts up no problem! Thanks though!
@@th4bl4ckm4n Thanks for sharing! I’m sure it will help someone else out.
Did you remove the dust shields on the front when you changed the larger rotors/calipers? I just tried to fit my new PPV calipers on the 2021 Escalade this evening and the dust shields hit the back side of the rotors. I am gonna have to do one of three things: 1. remove the dust shield 2. cut the dust shield (which is janky 3. replace these dust shields with a larger one which I do not know if they make
@@hunterpinnell6254 I’m surprised the 2021 Escalade doesn’t fit. At 2:00 I put the new rotor on with the stock 2008 dust shield and haven’t had any issues.
Too bad it’s a Harley 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
@@Silette-2011 What do you ride?
Excellent video. In another video the guy said this conversion will work on earlier model Chevys. I plan on doing it on 2003 Silverado. You're the only person that talks about offset, and its so important. I have 22 inch W5413MB with 31mm offset. Do you think I have enough clearance?
@@melloydcarter5878 I don’t think your rims will work with this conversion. My +31 offset rubbed so much that the wheel wouldn’t move. The 2021+ Tahoe PPV has a +28 offset. I think you will be good if you have a +28 or lower. I went with a +19 and there is plenty of clearance.
@@wesdoug84 So if I understand correctly, the lower number equals more clearance? Just a little bit confused on that part.
@@melloydcarter5878 Correct, the higher the number, the closer the mounting point is to the outer part of the wheel. That generally means less space. Lower offsets moving towards a negative offset mounting point is closer towards the back of the wheel. When the mounting point is closer to the back of the wheel and the spokes connect at the front of the wheel, there’s more space for the caliper to fit.
@@wesdoug84 Thanks pal.
@@wesdoug84 Just to follow up. I test fitted the +31 offset and it certainly rubbed. Got some +28 OEM 20 inch and fit and looks great. The challenge I'm facing now is finding washers. Sounds simple enough but cant find anything like you showed in your video. Where did you get them? Thanks pal.
Hey man hate to bother you again but I think my wheels are gonna hit as they have +31 offset. The wheel I am looking at has a +18 offset. Will that work? I don't know how any of this offset business works
@@hunterpinnell6254 +18 should work fine. My new wheels are +19. That would give you considerably more space for the brake calipers than the +31 wheels.
Excellent tutorial. No unneeded jabber and all the right demonstration. Bought all of this for my 2021 Escalade and the wife wants the calipers painted Cadbury purple with white Cadillac logo clear-coated.
@@hunterpinnell6254 That’s going to look sweet on your Escalade!! And hopefully everything bolts straight on with no grinding. Gotta let me know how it works!
@@wesdoug84 It shouldn't require any grinding as this PPV kit was designed for the newer trucks. I probably will have to add a shim or two to center the rotor in the caliper, but aside from that I thinks its a straight bolt on. I also bought a set of C7 Corvette rear calipers to have Big Brakes all around but didn't realize the electronic parking brake is gonna prevent me from using them. If ya want them I sell em to ya for 150 bucks which is less than I paid. they should work great with your truck
@@hunterpinnell6254 I appreciate the offer, but I put brand new 2008 PPV rotors and pads on the rear.
@@wesdoug84 what does the rear PPV entail? Do you have a part number or video?
@@hunterpinnell6254 It was the same year and size as my 2008 Yukon, so I used the stock calipers. Just changed the rotors with a more aggressive pad. It works well with the front brakes. I have a lot of confidence braking a 5,500 lbs vehicle. If I had a 2021 like yours, I’d just get the 2021 rear PPV brakes off of Rock Auto.
any idea why this wouldn't work on a 2017 tahoe?
@@donnie5208 It should work fine on your 2017, possibly better than on the 2007-2014s. I’m not sure how much, if any, grinding you would need to do. Just make sure your wheels are at least a 20” +28 offset. I ended up getting 22” rims with a +19 offset to give the calipers plenty of clearance.
Simple and very informative... I plan on doing this to my yukon denali
Let me know if you have any questions.
Wheel fitment... I have factory 20s But I know I need to go at least 22s
@@double0breaker492 What is the offset on your factory wheels?
Do you have the part number for the brake pad pins
GM Part #85153957
Well done and informative!
@@BSherrod Thanks!
Good Job my Man, simple as that and the Rig looks Good!!
Thank you! Working on the next project
What's the stopping power difference?
I haven’t performed a test, but the feel is night and day. These brakes are designed for police pursuit vehicle abuse. Every time I brake, I feel like I have more to give and that feeling makes me confident that my Yukon will stop when I need it to.
There's NOTHING this dude can't do!!! 💯👍🏾💯👍🏾💯
I enjoy the projects and save a little money doing them myself!
Hey Wes, Ive been meaning to do this very same thing in my living room. I think i need some help!!! Great Job!
