: I took the Burb to my trusted mechanic for it's regular oil/lube. He looked at the brakes and called me into the bay to see the problem. (It feels like going to the principal's office - you know its never for good news).
: The brake pads are worn down, the rotors are rusted and the splash guards are rusted out, coming apart and rubbing against the rotors. So, I am looking at new pads, splash guards and probably new rotors all around.
: The burb is the wifes daily driver. 2000 NBS K1500, 5.3L, 37,000 miles. No previous brake work. We live in the "rust belt" - Cleveland, OH so road salt and snow take a big toll on things.
So here is the bill for the work. It sure hurts but I keep reminding myself that this is the only major work done in 4 years of usage. I took the part numbers off my work order so they may not match exactly.
