Just confirming this upgrade is for my application?? For 2001 Yukon Denali XL (front brake set-up) and parts would be from 2007+ Tahoe (calipers with mounting braket and hardware with 13" rotors)?

That is correct.

I would get high quality Dot 4... Get synthetic Dot 4 that has the highest boiling point... Price is not too relevant. I would not cheap out on brakes.

meh DOT4 has a higher boiling point sure, but it also absorbs water more quickly. I am running dot3 synthetic. Not gonna get it anywhere near the boiling point on that in this truck... we're not doing hot laps on daytona here.

Thank You for the quick confirmation TheAutumnWind.

Did this swap on my truck. Best thing I've done for stopping. I used the ac delco slotted rotors and power stop ceramic pads in the front. Ordered everything for a 2005 with rear drum brakes. That gives you the 13" rotor and get the calipers for the same truck. The rear I have Silverado SS dual piston calipers and ac delco slotted rotors with OEM ceramic pads. Best it's ever stopped.

Huh, this whole time I had no idea that the SS had dual piston rears. Looks like according to Rockauto they are just front calipers in the rear!

So does this mean there is a way to upgrade the rear calipers?
