OEM on my 02 QC 4.7 automatic with about 57k miles are still lasting me. I
guess I'm not to hard on my brakes and generally drop it out of OD when I'm
slowing down. The rotors are getting really thin now, but the pads are still
decent. They have provided a nice foot massage for the past 10k or so miles,
but oddly they don't pulsate all the time. As soon as I get some time the
rotors and pads are getting changed. The rears are still good, they were
squeaking really bad by 50k, but pulling the drums and blowing the dust out
resolved that issue. I actually pulled a car home on a trailer about 2k miles
ago it was a roughly 4 hour drive home and I had plenty of brake power, the
trailer had no brakes.
I guess I am one of the few who have had no issues with their OEM brakes.
