SSV option with rear drums

[mrkid]

I just picked up a 2002 Tahoe with the 5WR SSV package. I was surprised to see it came with rear drums. It also has the Heavy duty towing option. Is it possible the entire rear end was replaced, or this normal for the package?

Well the build sheet does stipulate 4 wheel disc

Yeah, I missed that on the first run through. I'll have to find a stamping on the rear end to see if a "brake-to-brake" rear end was tossed in.

Well, now that I actually got eyes on the truck, it does have rear disc. The discs are so large, I assumed they were drums from the pictures.

Oh man....I so badly want to make fun of you but I don't know you well enough yet. But I will hold onto my sarcasm for a later time!!

Knock yourself out, if it makes yoi feel better. I bought it through a friend, and didn't see the brakes in person until today. I was told they were drums, and the only pic I had was the one above.

I hope you realize that was a lighthearted statement!

I do now. LOL

It's tough to tell online, and I'm enough forums to know there's always at least one keyboard commando.

Back to the truck, looks like the rotors and pads are different. Many shops have "except Police" in the description.

Wow...keyboard commando is flippin hilarious and I am going to borrow that one from you! The truck may still have the correct package brake parts. Obviously you could get OEM but Rockauto.com may be a good source for aftermarket. I do believe that the package you have came with bigger rotors

It's not trademarked, so have at it.

I will say, they are bigger than my Camaro's Brembos. Truck stops surprisingly well for it's weight.
