The Story
Brake Kit for GM Trucks and SUVs
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a front and rear disc brake kit built for select Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC applications. Part number 4514-48022 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware in one service package for a cleaner brake refresh.
Compatible With 2000-2006 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and Escalade EXT; 2000-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500, Silverado 1500, Suburban 1500, and Tahoe; and 2000-2006 GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL 1500, depending on configuration.
Key Features
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pad surface to reduce initial break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
- Non-directional rotor finish for smoother pad bed-in and quieter stops
- Dry-packaged rotors ready for installation without oil cleanup
- Brake hardware designed with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Details
DFC builds this brake service kit around OE-style fit, form, and function. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for critical dimensions and balance. The coated surface helps resist rust, while the non-directional finish supports even pad contact during service. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction performance and consistent pedal response across everyday driving conditions. Part number 4514-48022 is a practical choice for drivers servicing a Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, or Cadillac Escalade brake system with a complete rotor-and-pad replacement.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Solve
- Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Uneven braking caused by rotor wear or corrosion
- Longer stopping distances from depleted friction material
- Vibration or pulsation from rotor surface irregularities
- Premature pad wear related to aged caliper hardware
Installation Notes
- Verify exact vehicle configuration before ordering, especially on 2001-2006 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 applications with steering, axle, or caliper variations.
- Inspect calipers, slides, and hoses during brake service to confirm the new kit can perform as intended.
- Follow proper rotor and pad bedding procedures after installation.
- Clean all mating surfaces before assembly for accurate rotor seating.
Quality Assurance
DFC states that each rotor is 100% inspected for critical attributes and that vented rotors are balance-corrected when needed. The rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4514-48022 is engineered for OE-level durability and stable service performance.
