PowerStop Z36-1010 brake pad for the 2003-2009 Chevrolet C4500 Kodiak and other vehicles presses against the rotor to slow the truck. PowerStop Z36 brake pads are an upgrade over stock brakes for drivers who tow, haul or go off-road.
- Z36 Truck and Tow carbon-fiber ceramic formulation for severe-duty stopping power on trucks and SUVs
- Low-dust formulation verified in third-party on-vehicle testing
- Positive mold technology for consistent wear and performance
- Thermal scorched pad surface for a fast break-in
- Chamfered and slotted pad for noise-free braking
- Powder coated backing plate that resists rust and corrosion
Quick facts
- Part: PowerStop Z36-1010 brake pad
- Also called: disc brake pad set
- Fits: 2003-2009 Chevrolet C4500 Kodiak and other vehicles
- Position: Front, rear
- Material: Carbon fiber ceramic
- Condition: New
A squeal from the mechanical wear sensor, grinding, or longer stopping distances can mean the pads are worn. If worn pads are the cause, these replace them. A sticking caliper or a scored rotor can give similar signs, so measure the pad thickness and look over the rotor surface during the brake service, with the engine off.
Fits
Several Chevrolet and GMC models are listed, including the 2003-2009 Chevrolet C5500 Kodiak and the 2003-2009 GMC C4500 Topkick, and each takes one set.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the PowerStop Z36-1010 fit the 2003-2009 GMC C4500 Topkick?
Yes, PowerStop Z36-1010 is listed for the 2003-2009 GMC C4500 Topkick and takes one set; if your truck is not named here, look up its year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Do PowerStop pads like these come with hardware and brake lubricant?
Yes. PowerStop Z36-1010 comes with stainless-steel hardware, shims and ceramic brake lubricant in the kit.
What friction material do the Z36-1010 brake pads use?
These pads use a carbon fiber ceramic friction material, with carbon-fiber added to strengthen the compound. The low-dust formulation was verified in third-party on-vehicle testing.
What does the mechanical wear sensor on this disc brake pad set do?
The sensor is attached to the pad and is mechanical, so it can squeal when the pad wears down. Measuring the pad thickness during a brake service shows how much friction material is left.
How do the Z36-1010 pads keep braking quiet?
The pad surface is chamfered and slotted, and the multi-layer stainless-steel shims add heat dissipation for virtually noise-free braking.
