Found a lot of good info on this site. Chevy for life! I have done a few things on my Tahoe and would like to one day contribute. Brakes this weekend- do the inside brakes normally wear deeper than the outside pads? I’m at 28k on unknowns at 5 years (live one mile from work and keep it in the garage oh and drive the beater to work). Looks like 50% on the outside and have vacation scheduled so changing them with premium ceramic. Looking forward to seeing what the inside wear looks like..
the inside pad "might" wear a little more than the outside, but not by much and in any case left & right side should look equally worn. If one pad is much more worn than the other that can indicate a sticky caliper, same if left & right are noticeably different.
50% is not bad, you can pull the wheels off and turn each wheel out and then you can inspect with a flashlight and see how much pads is remaining on the inside
my opinion would be if you have 50% or more on the outside and 30% or less remaining on the inside that would be indicative of a possible caliper problem, be it sliders, lubrication or whatever.
50/30 would be my max allowance, then I would start trying to figure out "why" because something isn't right.
