Overview
The EBC Brakes DP61780 is a 6000 Series Greenstuff rear brake pad set for 2007–2014 full-size GM SUVs and trucks, including the Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban 1500, Silverado 1500 and Avalanche, the GMC Sierra 1500 and Yukon, and the Cadillac Escalade. The 6000 Series compound is designed for SUVs and light trucks.
This is a low-dust street pad suited to daily driving. It has a green powder coat for rust-free use and a break-in material that helps the pads bed in.

Pad bedding and wear
Bedding in new pads helps them transfer an even layer of friction material onto the rotor face. After installing a fresh set, make a series of moderate stops from a steady speed without coming to a full hold, then let the brakes cool. This gives a consistent pedal feel and reduces the chance of judder later.
Pad wear is also affected by how the truck is loaded and towed. A full-size SUV carrying passengers or pulling a trailer puts more heat into the brakes, so pads and rotors often wear faster than they do during light commuting. Checking pad thickness at each tire rotation helps catch uneven wear early.
- Check pad thickness at each tire rotation
- Inspect rotor surfaces for scoring or blue heat marks
- Replace pads and rotors together when either is worn
