You might check over at thedieselpage.com. I am a member over there and this comes up often. I have a couple of suburbans and spent right at 1000.00 to put disk on the rear. Not much help. I have also gone the slotted or drilled rotor route. My experience is that the best you can do is to 1. make sure the power steering pump is good. You have a diesel and with that a hydraboost that is powered off of the power steering. 2. When you get new pads get the most aggressive pads you can. Napa not going to have these. They don't last as long and are harder on the rotors but help. On the rear, keep the pads adjusted, but not by backing up and hitting the brake. Do it the old way with a lever or screw driver. Adjust them up then back off 33 clicks. I know it sounds like a lot but thats the manual. That lets all of the brake shoe come in contact with the drum not just the leading edge. 3. Make sure your master cylinder is good, fresh brake fluid etc. Chevy should have been made to fix these things. They just don't stop. If you figure out how to put 15 inch rotors on one let me know. You would then need at least 17 inch wheels and tires. Good luck. Spencer
