1 H2 axle has been swapped into my Tahoe. Been like that since 2014

1 H2 axle lives under the 07 H2 I have in my yard (for sale if anyone wants it!)

1 H2 axle was bought from a wrecker and stripped for the axles and locker. Axles are spares for the Tahoe, locker is going in the front AAM 9.25 when I SAS the Tahoe

tldr: I have disposable income 😂

 

You got too much disposable income son!

 

At least I don't blow trannys

 

I offset it with 3-4 vehicles under construction at any given time

 

Don't forget the highly charitable donations you're making to this build in form of some little plastic bits with dangly doods hanging out them.

Alright, 4 piston brake stuff ordered, OEM AC Delco smooth rotors $93.99ea, Power stop z23 pads $66, and one AC Delco OE caliper $93.99. Couldn't find OEM pads to save my life but I'd assume these Powerstop pads will last 60kish and at that point, the OE rotors should only need cut&turn and new pads. All rotors will get black hats and calipers Diamond dust cause that's where I spend my minuscule amount of disposable income.

 

Can't wait to see it.

 

Me too, I'm gonna spend a good bit of time grinding off the caliper hump and getting the overall finish of the caliper smooth so the powder lays even flatter. Heck, I'll probably be grinding for half a day Saturday because I need to clean up the axle and all the brackets that need welding to it as well. Might have to break out the 7" death wheel because despite making clean cuts with the plasma torch, I didn't want to cut into the axle tubes so I left about a 1/4" of material to clean off.

Once I get the axle brackets burned in and the brakes functional I can move it out of the dirt floor barn and into the shop! Although there are a few other things I want to do while it's outside.

 

I have seen some conflicting information on the new 4 pot calipers... are they aluminum or iron?

 

Dan where did you buy the caliper? RockAuto says out of stock and for the rears they want like $500 a caliper lol so I imagine the fronts are similar

 

They are steel for sure, heavy as hell and rust if left unpainted.

Summit racing had 10 in-stock for $93.99, they say front left and 2 piston but it’s clearly the correct caliper from the image and the reviews as well as the part number confirm it’s the 4 pot.
I’d find you a link but I still haven’t figured out how to open 2 google pages at once in this iPhone.
