4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

[blueinkd]

Oh man. A gloss black would look nice too!! I want to hear the results from the guy already on the 07+ brake mod going to these. I have that whole kit sitting in boxes on garage floor and my 4 piston calipers should be in soon. My preference is to install the 4 piston set up. Coincidently the 08 tahoes use the same rotor as a 2019 Trail boss. According to the parts house catalog. I also have an LT with hydroboost and I haven't seen this being discussed either.

whats a speed bleeder?

I use this thing. Works on everything.

It lets you bleed your brakes without a second person opening and closing the bleed valve. Basically on the pedal release there is a valve inside the bleeder that blocks air from entering the system.

My calipers are scheduled to arrive on Saturday via FedEx

In regards to the texture on the calipers, I'm going to hit them with a 36grit flapper wheel on my die grinder. It will make fast work of it.

I'll post up some pictures when I get to it.

Man I was thinking the same thing. I got two grinders that could polish them up. I'm ask the wife for tips, see what she says

I knew you were going to do that.....
You have to let me know how long it takes.
I thought about that too. They are so rough and will look awesome all smooth and coated.....
I'm so lazy when it comes to that.

Are you going to pull the pistons and seals out and have them powdercoated?

That's the plan right now.

All efforts right now are on finishing up these LSA blowers, selling them and getting my 6.0 into the engine builder

We're going to get off track here, but

What LSA blowers?

Are you going to put a 6.0/LSA blower on your PPV?

A while back I had a Callaway Silverado, 6.2 with a small maggie
That thing ran great and got pretty good gas mileage for a 6.2.
Only a 2x4 though so I sold it.

It had callaway branded stoptech 6p calipers front and back. Stopped really, really good.

This is getting a little out of hand there....smoothing the texture of the caliper....but I agree.
I'm going to install and test mine first.
Then see if they fit on the back.
I also think the caliper would look better with that front ridge shaved off. Its steel so I don't think that would compromise the caliper too much.

Then you could put some heat resistant stickers on it.....I haven't seen any Tahoe ones.
