Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5569 is a conventional, vented disc brake rotor constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and thermal management. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to maintain consistent stopping power. With a nominal thickness of 1.29 inches and a discard thickness of 1.21 inches, this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and effective brake system operation. The rotor’s 11.61-inch outside diameter and 6-bolt mounting pattern ensure compatibility with various full-size SUVs and trucks, including the Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet K1500 Suburban.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

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

• Cadillac Escalade
• Chevrolet Blazer, Tahoe, K1500, K1500 Suburban, K2500
• GMC Yukon

It is designed to replace original equipment rotors on these models, providing a direct fit and maintaining factory braking performance.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR5569

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive rotor wear leading to reduced braking efficiency
