Need 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 brake pads, rotors, or hardware? 2012 is a GMT900 Silverado 1500 (2007–2013). This page is only that 1500 pickup. It is not Silverado 2500/3500 HD, not 1500 Classic, and it is not a van.
GVW rating and heavy-duty brake packages change rear pad numbers. 4WD vs RWD still changes the front hoses. A growl or pedal pulsation is usually a rotor. A squeal on the first stop is often glazed pads or missing hardware clips.

GMT900 Silverado 1500 (2007–2013) brake shop notes — 2012
These are brake shop notes for the GMT900 Chevy Silverado 1500 that includes 2012. GVW and heavy-duty brake packages change rear pad numbers. They are not for 1500 Classic-only rows, Silverado 2500/3500 HD, or 2014+ K2XX.
What usually brings people here
- Pedal pulsation or a growl that rises with road speed → rotor (BD126358E / BD126457E). Confirm stud count and diameter against the Front/Rear lists before ordering.
- Squeal on the first stop or after a short drive → glazed pads (QC13631 / ZD13631) or missing/worn abutment clips (H5754). ThermoQuiet boxes that say “hardware in the box” still deserve a visual check of the old clips.
- Soft or sinking pedal after a visual leak check → inspect the flexible hoses on this page (e.g. BH142757) for cracks, bulges, or wet fittings, then bleed with the correct fluid. This page does not list master cylinders or ABS modulators — stay with the SKUs shown.
ThermoQuiet vs QuickStop
Front pads on this page: ThermoQuiet QC13631 vs QuickStop ZD13631. ThermoQuiet is the quieter ceramic / OE-style path (often with hardware in the box); QuickStop is the value ceramic alternative — same application, different line. Rear pads: ThermoQuiet QC11941 vs QuickStop ZD11941.

While you’re in there
While the calipers are off, inspect hose fittings for wetness and make sure the guide pins slide freely. Fresh abutment clips (H5754) are cheap insurance when the old ones are rusty or missing. If the truck also clunks or wanders, see 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 suspension parts for ball-joint / tie-rod notes before you button the knuckle back up.
Shop notes only — not a service manual. Use the factory procedure or a Haynes/Chilton manual for wrench work, torque, and safety steps. Leave a comment with 4×2 vs 4×4, coil vs air (if equipped), and the symptom if you want a part-number check.

Fitment notes
These Wagner numbers come from the WC900 1995–2019 catalog (Federal-Mogul 2019), Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (GMT900) rows whose year range covers 12 (2012). Confirm 2WD/4WD and brake package before ordering. Superscript footnotes on the pad/rotor columns (1 hardware in the box, 2 OE semi-metallic, 4 optional ceramic, 8 E-coat, 9 OE abutment clips, 11 wear sensor) are not part of the SKU.
Do not use Silverado 2500/3500 HD pads, 2007 1500 Classic-only rows, or 2014+ K2XX rotors on this GMT900 1500.
