DuraGo BR55097-01 Disc Brake Rotor - Front

Durable Cast Iron Disc Brake Rotor for GM Trucks and SUVs

The DuraGo BR55097-01 disc brake rotor is engineered for reliable braking performance on select Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC models. Designed with a full cast construction and rust-resistant coating, this rotor offers consistent stopping power and durability for vehicles like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500.

• Material: Cast iron for strength and heat dissipation
• Full cast construction enhances rotor integrity
• Rust-resistant coating protects against corrosion
• Vented rotor design improves cooling during braking
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Fits vehicles with 6 mounting bolt holes and 330 mm outside diameter

Technical Specifications and Design Features

The BR55097-01 rotor features a nominal thickness of 30.2 mm and a discard thickness of 28 mm, ensuring it meets precise wear limits for safe operation. Its vented design allows for better heat dissipation compared to solid rotors, reducing the risk of brake fade during heavy use. The rotor measures 330 mm in outside diameter with an overall height of 55.6 mm, fitting a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 139.7 mm. The 6 mounting bolt holes have a diameter of 16 mm, compatible with various GM full-size trucks and SUVs. The rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and is a conventional, non-directional type, simplifying installation and replacement.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This DuraGo disc brake rotor is compatible with a range of GM vehicles, including:

• Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, and XTS
• Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500 (including Classic and LD), Suburban 1500, Tahoe, and Express 1500
• GMC Sierra 1500 (Classic and Limited), Yukon, Yukon XL, Yukon XL 1500, and Savana 1500

It is designed to replace worn or damaged rotors, restoring braking efficiency and safety for these models.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking performance due to worn rotor thickness
• Corrosion and rust buildup affecting rotor surface
• Overheating and brake fade during heavy braking
• Uneven brake pad wear linked to rotor surface condition

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR55097-01 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to promote proper fitment. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotation direction. Verify that the rotor thickness meets or exceeds the discard thickness specification of 28 mm before installation. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.
