A Chevy Truck may be built to last, but several of its separate parts and components are going to wear out eventually. Depending on how you drive, you'll be replacing your brake pads at least once in 100,000 miles. You can extend the life of your brakes by developing some good driving habits.

Whenever possible, you should allow the engine compression to slow the vehicle rather than the brakes - avoid "riding" them when descending a hill. A good rule of thumb is to descend the hill in the same gear in which you climbed it.

Also, avoid being the obnoxious person who races ahead on city streets toward a signal that is obviously red. These people alienate others and often look like fools, but more importantly, the sudden stop shorten the life of their brakes considerably. One nice thing about brake problems is that they become apparent long before they become serious. For example, when Chevy Truck Brakes start making a whining or squealing noise, or start feeling "spongy" and soft, it doesn't mean you're in any immediate danger. Brakes can operated for anywhere from a couple of hundred to a few thousand miles once you detect problems - but you don't want to ignore them, either.
