Rear Brake Pad Questions

Hey Guys,

I have an 04 Z71 , with an issue. About 20K miles ago I replaced the rear brake pads and rotors. The rotors were original and had the flaking problem some of you have mentioned in previous threads. The original pads and rotors went 60K , no problems.

Part number for the pads are...Wearever Gold MKD-792.

While washing my truck I noticed the pads are almost gone again! I have done brakes on other pickups from these years, and have noticed 2 sets of rear brake pads to every set of fronts. I cant believe 4 different trucks between 03-05 have the same issue.

Have checked everything with the brake system , all appears normal. Acts like the proportioning valve was never set correctly from the factory. This truck see's all highway miles.

Do you guys have any thoughts? Maybe I'm using the wrong set or style of rear pad. Before you ask I'm an OLD man , the only thing I HAMMER is my Nova.

Thanks in advance for any reply's.
