I changed my rotors to the drilled slotted Detroit Axle rotors on my Silverado. I was skeptical because of the price but I’m very pleased with their products.
@@michaelspeer1339 I have used them for roughly 3 years now on all my car. For the rotor It last me up to 70k for my most recent car. The other one lasted roughly 80-90k now. The brake pad lasted me 35-40k miles. Which is standard I would say to drive over 15k miles a year lol. I drive alot and it last. Of course I check my brake pad every month (just looking through the wheel and seeing the bad depth). I would say for 160ish with tax and shipping for all 4 rotor and brake pad it's a bargain!!!
I have bought from Detroit Axle for over 10 yrs, never any issues. Rotors come with a white sticker to designate their placement on the vehicle. Added bonus is they include brake cleaner and fluid all in one convenient heavy duty box, nicely packaged. Use these for 4 different vehicles never any problems and great quality. Fast shipping also.
@@ElementTijuana The slots should point forward to activate before allowing debris from forming. With the slots facing away, it allows that debris to build onto the rotor. That makes the brakes working hard and the pads wear down faster.
I just helped my buddy install this exact kit on his 2009 LTZ Tahoe. Pretty good kit, everything is as described. Few things... His passenger rear was exactly like yours...somehow he burned through the pad and it destroyed the rotor and piston in the caliper. You should replace that whole caliper assembly...like $80 for the preloaded set up.. since that was metal on metal, i guarantee you the rear piston is shot...it may function but it super heated and is brittle now. Never Ever let your pads get that bad. Your seals were also probably shot and not working right..they are not designed to be heated up that much. Replacing those costs maybe a couple bucks. I didn't see you use the new hardware for the rear set and I didnt see any lubrication on any of the components...that stuff is essential or youll have bad squeaking and noise. Its cheap so you should be pretty liberal with it as long as you dont get any on the pads. The rotor direction also doesnt matter unless the venting inside the rotor is directional...if its perpendicular to the rotor (stick a screwdriver down in the vent, if it sticks straight out, its perpendicular) then you can face the rotors in either direction. Over all it was a great video and how-to, but some of those little things i mentioned are key for brake jobs. Theres no fun in doing it halfway then having to jack everything up and do it all over again after you start hearing squeaking.
Definitely wouldn’t mind seeing more tahoe content. I’ve also got an ‘07 and I’m always looking for ideas. I Raptor lined the body a little over a year ago with my son, it’s crazy how many compliments and thumbs up i get. Did it in body color with metallics in there too. Keep up the good content.
Just bought mine because Las Vegas is Hot 🔥 and traveling to California has down hills , Mountains so you want good stopping power and rotors cool easily. Thanks👍
If the cooling vanes on the inside if the disc are vertical it doesn't matter which way the slots are oriented. I always put them on "backwards" just to mess with people.
I bought Detroit Axle brakes and rotors set for my 2008 Chevy Impala. Looking forward to getting a Detroit Axle brakes & rotors kit for my Chevy trailblazer. Might try the slotted & drilled rotors. Quality parts for a good price!

I’m about to purchase a set of front brake pads for my LX470 (Landcruiser) which I currently have a set of BRAKEMOTIVE slotted/drilled zinc rotors and ceramic pads from maybe 4yrs ago! I’m going to do 1 pad slap before doing a new complete set. I think these companies source the same parts. Brake Motive even had stickers that Powerstop had! Z16 on pad backing plates so I “think” they all share parts! They work really well!
I got the Detroit axle conventional kit, everything was fine for about a year and then they started grinding up front swapped pads from left to right grinding one away for another year. It was sounding bad but I after inspection no defects found so I replaced the pads and had the rotors turned so far so good. I contacted them for warranty and they wanted me to ship them back, that was cost prohibitive big time. I'm going to go with a different brand next time, I have six vehicles so lots to choose.
That rotor bolt is a pain, but if you use a hammer and drive the screwdriver in, while turning, it'll usually break the seal and move. 2 things, you are the first I've ever seen mention the reservoir when compressing the caliper, makes a tone of sense, and ceramic grease on the slider pins!
Sorry to tell you this, but according to a specialized site that I consulted your perforated disc's and grooves at the outside of your disc brakes are pointing to the wrong direction. If you let them turn in the other direction it gives more "bite" to the disc pad brakes. The only thing which can change are the positions of the vents mounted inside of the ventilated disc brakes. If the are inclined you have to follow their inclination, if they are straight you have to follow the direction as I earlier specified.
If you don't put the grease fitting in they don't last long and they are supposed to have a good amount of resistance when swiveled "O your bad" My Detroit axle complete front suspension parts kit replacement parts are going 4 years strong and the truck hardly sleeps 4 stars, cons availability only online.
everything is fine except for one detail... you put that perforated rotor upside down, that one goes on the left side because those rotors have a direction of rotation
You put the rotors on backwards bro you want the rotors to cut into the brake pads to release any trapped gas but I have seen it work before just not how it was designed..
Bought some cheap chinese rotors (had to be) and really quick seemed like they warped and starting pulsing. Wonder how these are really and truly holding up for you? I can't stand brake vibration and pulsing from out of round. Thanks, anybody chime.
On a power stop rotors video it says to put the slots facing towards the rear of the vehicle so they can vent properly. However on here they're saying you put your brake rotors on backwards if the veins on the inside of the rotors are straight up and down does it really matter though?
Brother, I like that you don't mind spending money to have the right tools. But I hate to see you breaking your elbows on that old 4 way tire tool. DeWalt DCF899 is what you need. I do not work for them, I make no money if you buy one. Just a friendly tip.
I installed slotted rotors on my Tundra because I tow a 27’ Airstream. After 6 months I developed a brake vibration. I contacted Detroit Axle because of the 10 year warranty. They blamed the pads (Toyota) and would not cover them. They’re poor quality, cheap rotors with no support from Detroit Axle when they go bad. Don’t waste your money.
Why would they warranty something that isn't from them and may have damaged their product? Standard pads aren't meant for cross drilled or slotted rotors. Ever.
Bought these Exact Rotos (Detroit Axle) for My 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and when I tell You they Work well THEY WORK even on My F'd Up Tires 😂🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ but Any How GREAT Review and Bonus Install Bro Shout Out from TEXAS The Truck State 🛻 🚙🤠🇨🇱
I will never buy these brakes and rotors again. I'm actually trying to get my money back. They have THE MOST dust I have ever seen! Plus I followed their instructions to bed the brakes - after 500+ miles - still grinding. HATE THEM!
😂Oh yes! Brakes are much higher now, and lots of braking power! I had some footage out on a test drive, but from inside the tahoe it doesn't look any different, and I didn't have anyone to record 3rd person.

How are they holding up what year Silverado
@@clouthunterz781 anyone know?

Detroit Axel may be on Ebay but it's quality stuff. Been my "go to" for over 10 years on all my cars. Never once had an issue.
Good to know. Thx.
How long do the rotors and pads last?
@@netob6826if you want them to last don’t get drilled and slotted rotors the pads will go a lot faster than regular rotors
Do you also use Detroit Axle brake pads, or do you prefer another brand?
@@T.JAY.DEE. I use, and am currently using their carbon fiber/ceramic pads and they are great. solid bite and zero noise.
Damn mad respect bro, you did this job with mostly hand tools . Glad it worked out

Purchased same Detroit axle rotors about 3 years ago and they work fine still no problems.
Just an FYI. You put the rotors on reversed. Left is right, right is left. The slots and holes should face forwards.
Says who? Ur wrong. It has been confirmed that it does not matter. Besides arrows pointing backwards look better

Those inside brakes are the emergency brakes. Not necessary to change unless they’re not working.

You are correct. Intuitively, I installed them 'sweeping' to the rear. Wrong! Needs to lean into the air flow!

The direction of the slots goes the other way.

The noise is embarrassing so I changed them, same reason I change mine LOL. It is the same with my squeaky ujoint. Great video brother.
Update on em? Still enjoy them? I'm getting ready to order the same kit for my ram 1500.
Me too
Me 3
Good looking out my friends. I'm looking at getting some for my Expedition. Thanks partna!
Thank you for the video. How has the quality of the parts held up. Are they worth buying?
Wrong direction/side with the rotors!
Bro i got these and the rear rotors started screeching like crazy.
Rotors or pads? I got the Detroit Axel rotors but NAPA pads but have not installed them yet.
Pads are horrible
I got the rotors from that brand and It does a hard vibration. When i push the brake
Wow, pretty chewy! Good thing you're putting new ones on
Looks like a solid kit, just spent extra for the power stop kit.wish I would have e bought this kit instead and saved some $$$
Where the hell is the jack stand?
Great Job.. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate the honesty
Watching video now. I'm very interested in this video bro. I need new brakes so this is going to come in handy. Thanks

Whats up bro. How are the brakes and rotors holding up after 2 years?
Excellent job bro any more upgrades to the Tahoe keep posting
I just want to buy some for my Sequoia, but I said that I saw those Detroi as very economical, I had doubts if they are good?
Whats the point of fitting new discs to that thing,,,its a heap of junk,
😂😂 now it's a heap of junk, with new rotors
great instructional video!
Cool video man! How does the brakes feel after the upgrade?

Would not recommend detroit axle wheel bearings though haha
Hey I got them off Amazon they still holding up only changed one side a bitch getting off old ones it's been 1yr so far.
How it is man? Is it still holding it down

Any long term updates ?
Any updates??
So are the brakes holding up I have power stop but dnt want to keep paying tht price
Get Detroit axle rotors and power stop pads easily safe over 100$
So, are there okay to buy?
Would it fit a 2014 impala?
How much did you paid for your pov tahoe ?
Cualquier update Como funciona
Just get the plain rotor. Slotted and drill ones are crap.
Supposedly slotted and drilled last longer bc they don't warp as easy since they dissipate heat much more efficiently.
That Brake juice is way too brown
Damn!!.. Stops on a dime & gives you nine cents back
😂Oh yes! Brakes are much higher now, and lots of braking power!
