Chevrolet Silverado Brake Calipers turn hydraulic pressure into clamping force so the truck slows safely. Inside each cast iron body, the Brake Calipers have one or more pistons that reside within sealed bores. The pistons receive pressurized fluid from the hose port and push the pads against the rotor. Chevrolet pickup generations have employed two major styles of Brake Calipers, fixed and floating. The fixed units are bolted solidly to the mount. In addition, they carry paired pistons on both rotor faces. This gives even pad pressure and a strong, consistent feel. However, they cost more. Plus, they require precise alignment of the rotor. Floating Brake Calipers, also known as sliding calipers, have their piston or pistons located on the inboard side only. They slide on guide pins, which means that the whole housing shifts to grip the outer pad. They are lighter and cheaper than fixed calipers, but run the risk of sticking if the pins corrode. On Silverado models, certain rear floating variations have a screw style parking mechanism that winds the piston outward for hand brake duties. If Brake Calipers leak fluid, they may cause a soft pedal, drag, or result in uneven pad wear. Thus, Chevrolet owners check their hardworking Silverado rigs for torn boots or seized pins.
