Give your truck or SUV the severe-duty stopping power it deserves with the PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (Z36-785, also written Z36785). Engineered as an upgrade over stock pads for those who tow, haul, and head off-road, this set drops in on a wide range of GM full-size trucks, vans, and SUVs — including the 2002-2006 Cadillac Escalade, 1999-2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2001-2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, 2000-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe, 1999-2006 GMC Sierra 1500, 2000-2006 GMC Yukon, and 2003-2009 Hummer H2. It is cataloged for both the front and rear brake positions. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 43 applications.
- Carbon-fiber ceramic compound: a low-dust ceramic formula infused with carbon fiber for severe-duty stopping power on trucks, SUVs, and 4x4s.
- Low-dust formulation: verified in third-party on-vehicle testing, with positive mold technology for consistent wear.
- Quiet, break-in ready: thermal-scorched surface for a fast break-in, chamfered and slotted design, plus multi-layer stainless-steel shims for heat dissipation and virtually noise-free braking.
- Powder-coated backing plate: resists rust and corrosion for extended pad life.
- Hardware included: premium stainless-steel hardware and ceramic brake lubricant for an easier install.
Ceramic pads run cleaner and quieter than conventional semi-metallic pads during everyday street driving. Replace the pads on both sides of the axle together as a matched set for even, balanced braking.
