Haha, I mentioned the +1 factory brake upgrade when I watched your wheels video. You can get dual piston rear calipers from a Tahoe/Suburban and a thicker rotor from a police Tahoe to factory upgrade the back. That’s what I did on my 2000 SCLB 4x4.
Nice to see the Master Mechanic giving you a hand!!!! Cherish those moments with your little wrench turner, time flies. Next thing you know, he will be graduating H.S. and going out into the world.
I had a 2001 and a 2003 Silverado and did love those trucks, but now I'm driving a 2007 Silverado and one thing is that the steering and braking is so much better then the 01 and 03. I had 4x4's so no rack and pinion steering but my 07 does. I put a 185,000 on my 03 and only thing I did was a water pump, brakes, and the part that makes the 4x4 go into 4x4. And when I say brakes it only did the front so not sure how I got that many miles out of the rear. Funny when I bought the 03 it was that new front end and the dealer asked me if I like it, I told them I thought it looked stupid. So they wanted to know why I bought one and I told them that I cannot see the front end from the drivers seat. But I grew to love it and also the front end on the 07. I also really like the new Silverado front ends now that I have seen them in person.
Little man's got you this like instantly bro love seeing fathers doing their fartherly duties while at work pass it on the world need more good mechanics and fathers
I have to 2000 Silverado. Bought from my brother in 2007. Its been a great truck. No real problems with is. Brakes getting done this summer, I think im gonna do this brake upgrade. Good video.
Lower your truck, raise your shop roof and get a lift!! I'm learning from your vids. Just bought a 2002 Suburban. I'm old and full of arthritis so crawling the floor isn't a good deal for me. I bought a lift. Best car tool I ever bought.
You can also use the 2019-2020 Silverado rotors and calipers which are 13.5" rotors and 4 piston calipers. The only thing that you would need to do is to use 4 spacers or washers that are around .155" in thickness. These go in between the calipers and the spindles. This will center the calipers on to the rotors. I`m doing this conversion to my 2004 Suburban. The total cost that I have invested in this conversion is $492.89 including the cost for the GM 84847749 ceramic brake pads $107.02. It is also recommended that 18" or bigger wheels and tires are used.
I use a tie down strap wrapped around the bottom of the spring and the bottom arm to retain the spring when compressing the spring to keep it from flying out at me.
The newer wheels look good on these trucks. I have a set on both of my 04s. I like to run them with the letters out as well but the black around the letters seem to come off of the tires which I cant stand. But they look good and look good on yours as well.
Awesome how to videos! All we need is some part lists and 5 Stars! I got a 2000 gmc sierra 1500 RWD need to rebuild front end would love to get the rack you got but cant find it anywhere!
Great video LT. The truck has already come a long way. Interesting piece of info, I didn't know they upgraded the rotors in 2005. I love upgrades that aren't obvious at first glance. I own a 2015 Ram 1500 Reg Cab Short Box 2WD with the 5.7 Hemi and 8 Speed. I was able to use the electric fan out of a 2012 Ram 1500 with a V6 all I had to do was extend the wiring harness a couple inches. (2009 and up Ram 1500's with the V8 use both a clutch style fan run off the water pump and a small electric fan hidden under the fan shroud). It bolted in and looks factory. No programming required the PCM turns the fan on and off automatically. Although you could change the temps at which the fan comes on and off with a programmer if you wanted to. I've had it in my truck for 4 years now and it works perfectly. Also my truck has electric steering so when you open the hood the only things running off of the belt are the alt, a/c and water pump.
Also nice choice on the Bilstien shocks. I wanted those for my truck but they were just too pricey for me at the time. I ended up getting KYB Mono Max shocks all around. Got the fronts for $40 (Canadian Dollars) because some guy ordered front shocks for his Ram but the 2009 and up 4WD Rams have Struts in the front where as the 2WD Rams have shocks in the front.
If I may suggest, get Dirt King alignment cams for the upper arms. Even though its not a 4wd, they lock the arms in place a lot better than the ho hum factory pieces.
damn i bet that truck drove so damn nice. Quite jealous honestly, been wanting to do this to mine for a long time, thing is i dont have the rack and pinion style.
If you swap your rear brakes off a 99-06 tahoe use the rear brackets caliper & rotors if your currently on rear discs you go from a single piston to a 2 piston caliper & the rotors are a inch bigger also
How noticeable was the upgrade to the brakes? Trying to avoid spending the money on wilwood or brembo’s. In hindsight would you do the 2019/2020 brake conversion?
I know it's been 4 years since you made this video but do you have the uncut normal speed version? Not literally every minute of the project, just the step-by-step so I could use it as a reference? I haven't replaced parts like this since 1977 and could use a good refresher. Thanks in advance.
Didn't see you mention what wheel diameters are needed to clear the bigger rotors and calipers? My 2000 Sierra 1500 Z71 is still running the original 16" alloy rims...
Thank you foreal dude. You just gave me courage to do mine myself. My shocks breaks and everything are shot. Thanks for your time I look foward to doing this project with my son.
What is the proper name for that caliper bracket so I can track it down. Is the rear the same and is this a part I can buy from a 2005? Thanks in advance brother.
Great videos. Thanks! My 04 has 320K on it and I did not do lower arms or coils but did lower ball joints (PITA). I bought Monroe reflex shocks and was unhappy with the resulting ride. I dont blame the shocks quite yet: I suspect its time for coils and for cab mount bushings
This gentleman has got to be a professional mechanic because he's making this look too damn easy he's definitely not a basic backyard mechanic that's for damn sure!
Ya someone lowering a truck with intelligent ambitions...from a weary FL driver...seeing lifted, loud, oversized tires with the windows open thumping cramp next to me at stop lights
I’ve got an ‘02 model that I’ve been looking at doing similar stuff to! Love this video series! Question on the brakes: did you have to get an ‘05 caliper, too, or are they all the same? Thank you, and keep them coming! Can’t wait to see how you do the big block swap! 😁🤙🏼
Just to be sure my old brain understands, do I buy the calipers for 13" rotors at parts store for 2005? And now that it is 2024, does any aftermarket manufacturer now make the caliper bracket instead of having to shop for used at the boneyard or ebay?
hi, Watching your vid inspired me to upgrade my front end. I have one questions regarding Big Brake / Caliper upgrade. I have stock 17" steel rims. IF i put on the Bigger Rotors, 13inch and 05 caliper bracket. Will my Rim RUB? or will clear no problem? what do think.
I believe its 2005 and newer, if you have a suburban with rear disc brakes though, you already have better rear discs and calipers than the 1500 trucks got, so I'd just check the fronts...
You're very knowledgeable when it comes to these Chevy Trucks! Your videos are well constructed and executed, you are very informative, and to the point, all while being a family man! Kudos! Keep up the good work! Cheers! Quick question. Am I able to upgrade my 2003 1500 5.3 King Cab Long Bed Light Duty 2wd rear calipers, rotors, and pads with another year? Just like you mentioned for the front with a 2005. Also, how can I find out what transmission I have, and would it be fairly easy to make the truck 4WD or AWD?
yes, the rear upgrade should be the same as listed here. The most popular upgrade is to use a same year Suburban rear caliper and rotor, its a two piston and uses a thicker rotor, but will still fit inside 16" wheels. And this was a 4l80 transmission I swapped in, and if you wanted to make this truck 4wd or awd, it would be best to grab a 4wd frame from the junkyard and swap everything over.
Thanks for the quick reply! You rock! Cool, so my understanding is I don't have to go up to a 2005 for the rear. Just get the 2003 Suburban rear dual piston calipers/brackets, rotors, and pads. As far as AWD/4WD sounds like that's a lot more work than it's probably worth.. lol.
Good morning my friend question I have a 2006 gmc sierra 1500 5.3 crew cab . The chassis is bend in the place we’re is the engine. They charge a lot to get fix my only option is replace the chassis ,and the question is what models has the same chasis please let me know thanks and I will be waiting for your response
So do you just order everything for the brakes from a 05 Silverado then ? Calipers, rotors , and pads, also should the new calipers come with brackets? I want to do this to my 04 z71
Hey man, great video. Quick question for you sir. I have a 2001 silverado 4x4 with the 4L60 aswell and i notice you said you swapped yours for a 4l80. Was this swapped a plug and play or u need some work to make it fit.?
I made another video on the wiring you should check out, but there was a harness needed to convert the plugs and add a second vehicle speed sensor to the computer
Before I did both the front n rear big brake upgrade, the rear brake was binding n locking up, I did a full repair on the piston n calipers on the dual rear calipers but it is still binding n locking up still. Could it b my master cylinder? all 4 brake lines breed fluid fine, change all 4 flex hose too. When I got the truck, the brake fluid was all green n contaminated too, new fluid in there but could it b the seals in the master cylinder gone bad to not hold pressure? Brake pedal is firm when the truck is off but when u turn the truck on the brake pedal sinks down to the floor. So my guest next is to get a new master cylinder c if that is the problem. Truck is daily driving only, would u say stick to the Vacuum Booster system n not upgrade to the Hydro Booster system cux I don't really want to spend extra money the new system.
I'd have to sit down and find all the recipepts and stuff, but probably about $600 to $800 for everything including wheel bearings, brakes, suspension, rack and pinion
@@LawrenceTolman Thanks LT. Even at the $800 mark that was a good deal for Moog and all the rest. Where did you get the rebuilt steering rack and brand?
the garage in this video (I have since moved) was 22x32 and I certainly don't have the selection of tools we had at Truck Tech... My box is mostly filled with Husky, Craftsman, and some some Kobalt
I have a couple questions. I have the same model truck only thing is it’s a long bed and white. I had gotten hit on the passenger door side. Making a dent in the door and framing. To the point where I can’t the door. I’ve been wanting to getting it to repaired but just curious on how to go about it.
Random question LT, application is a 1995 c1500 stepside (show trucks usa conversion) single cab, what would you recommend for a brake upgrade for that?
I wanted these 4 piston on my 2010 Sierra.. I sourced the calipers.. do I have to run that rotor matching rotor too??.. I do know my drilled slotted 13s are to thick.. any help will be appreciated
Love you getting your boy involved. That’s the dream right there!
its so cool to have him help out

Really enjoying this build. The ugly truck has come a long way already.
Ritchy 173 IG has for sure, a few simple changes make a huge difference
Thanks for the video and the tip! Looks like I'm gonna go to the junkyard and get some parts for an upgrade
LT great video brother. Thanks for taking time to share with everyone. Hope you and your family are doing well through this virus ordeal 🇺🇸👍🏁😎
I put the same wheels on my truck. Made such a huge difference in the way it looks.
Totally agree! I love em

Thanks! Will do!
I'm doing the same job on my 2001. I was worried I was going to need a spring compressor. Looks like I don't . Thanks for the vid buddy!
Just bought a. 99 Chevy 1500 new body. Your video’s are my tutorial’s lol
glad they're helpful!
I use a tie down strap wrapped around the bottom of the spring and the bottom arm to retain the spring when compressing the spring to keep it from flying out at me.
Back to doing more interesting things after helping dad with his truck! Now we know who’s getting the truck done LOL
The newer wheels look good on these trucks. I have a set on both of my 04s. I like to run them with the letters out as well but the black around the letters seem to come off of the tires which I cant stand. But they look good and look good on yours as well.
Looking good! I was just putting together a parts list to do an NNBS front brake swap in my gmt-800 Escalade.
more stopping power is a great change to any truck or car
3k subs is insane!! I forgot to sub last time.. Boom done
Thanks a bunch! It’s good to see it growing
I love the truck and the upgrades so far. Would love to find one like this locally just to have a truck.
thanks! they are a fun body style to work on, and they are pretty affordable also

My understanding is the 2019 and newer trucks have 13 1/2 inch discs and four piston calibers for an even bigger improvement.
yeah, those new brakes are badass
Or even better, swap on the 2021 Tahoe ppv or Escalade Brembo 6 piston calipers and 16" rotors!!

Quick question. Am I able to upgrade my 2003 1500 5.3 King Cab Long Bed Light Duty 2wd rear calipers, rotors, and pads with another year? Just like you mentioned for the front with a 2005.

As far as AWD/4WD sounds like that's a lot more work than it's probably worth.. lol.
If I wanted to make it heavy duty, would I just upgrade to 8 lug?
Yes, you could swap an 8 lug rear but then you’d have mismatched front/rear. Probably not necessary unless your hauling very heavy
Your making me feel bad I have 2 trucks that could use front end rebuilds. Maybe some day.

What would say ALL the Moog front suspension parts and steering rack cost when all said and done?

Thanks LT.
Even at the $800 mark that was a good deal for Moog and all the rest.

I haven't greased em yet, but normally I use that sticky white grease that comes with most urethane bushings

I have 2001 Silverado looking into doing the brake upgrade. Is the bigger brakes from 2005 Silverado's or can use tahoes, or any other newer platforms
I know the tahoes have different sized back brakes than the silverados, but the parts I used were from a 2005+ Silverado 1500
For Tahoe’s it’s 07 or newer. You can also opt to go with upgraded PPV Tahoe calipers
I have a 2001 my question is about the brakes so the calipers bracket and rotors off of 05 will bolt up to my spindles?
Yep. Just gotta have everything you listed: calipers, brackets, rotors, and I think the flex lines might be a tad different.
I wanted these 4 piston on my 2010 Sierra.. I sourced the calipers.. do I have to run that rotor matching rotor too??.. I do know my drilled slotted 13s are to thick.. any help will be appreciated
Where did you buy the new rack and pinion?
Came from Amazon, was a Dorman part
What brake hose am I suppose to get with the 2005 brake caliper and mounting bracket upgrade
