Hawk's LTS Street rear pad is built on a Ferro-Carbon friction compound for light trucks and SUVs, and the manufacturer says it delivers a strong, balanced initial bite whether the brakes are hot or cold. Greater fade resistance and excellent pad and rotor life are also listed among its features, along with low dust output. That combination matters for a Silverado 1500 that tows or carries heavy loads, where stock pads can fade and wear quickly. The pad is designed to work with iron/metal rotors, so it suits standard cast discs rather than carbon ceramic setups.
Shoppers searching for 2014-2018 Silverado 1500 rear LTS pads, Ferro-Carbon rear brake pads for the 6.2L truck, or Hawk HB919Y.670 iron-rotor compatibility will find the manufacturer's fitment list covering Silverado 1500 model years 2014 through 2019. For DIY installers, user forums guides for this platform recommend a floor jack, jack stands, a socket set, a C-clamp, torx bits, brake cleaner, and white lithium grease. Owners on user forums also suggest prying out the old pad slides, snapping in new ones, and placing the pads with the friction side facing the rotor.
The manufacturer's fitment list includes 2014 and 2015 Silverado 1500 entries, with engine callouts (5.3L and 6.2L) listed for 2015. Confirm your engine and VIN with the manufacturer before ordering.
The manufacturer states that its compounds are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors, so these pads are intended for iron/metal rotors.
The manufacturer's product page links to a brake pad installation procedure. Review it before starting the job.
Owners on user forums describe the rear pad swap as a manageable weekend job when the vehicle is safely supported and the rear wheels are off. Common gotchas reported by owners include seized slide pins and corroded pad clips, so clean and lubricate the caliper bracket before installing the new pads. Some owners also advise grease only on the pad backing and clip contact points, keeping it off the friction surface. Because the rear calipers need to be pushed back to fit thicker pads, a C-clamp is the usual tool for the job.
