When I search Amazon it pulls up ACDelco 17D1119CH brake pads and 14D1119CH brake pads. Both say they fit an 06 front. Anything know the difference? I can’t really tell which to order.

The 14D1119CH is the entry level "Advantage" line of pads and the 17D1119CH is the "Professional" line which is higher quality.

The 14D1119CH are ACDelco's Advantage (Economy) line of brake pads. The 17D1119CH are their Professional line. You can search the difference between the two product lines, but i'm pretty sure the Professional get you close to what came stock on your H3. Just my opinion, but for only $10 more, I'd go with the Professional line.

My own recomendation after trying all types of AcDelco pads:

ACDELCO 1710976 {#19208132} GM Original Equipment
Rear; 4WD

ACDELCO 1710949 {#15240794} GM Original Equipment
Front; 4WD


These are OEM, and in my opinion, the best so far. I have almost 30000 miles for a front set, and 50000 miles for a rear set, with a huge brake quality.
Other AcDelco Pads gave me problem in my Brake test anually. My left front tyre was descompensated from the right tyre. I change pads to OEM and problem resolved.
In my participation in Rallyes TT of Spain, my rear AcDelco pads (not OEM) take so much heat that is smell burnt the rear brakes. I changed the rear pads to OEM, and problem resolved in the next rally.

Just my opinion, hope its help.

I just replaced my pads last week and from my research online this is what I got:

Ac Delco lines:

Economy line - built by 3rd party to min specs
Professional line - built by 3rd party to oem (GM) specs
OEM line - built by ac delco to GM specs

OEM line is basically what you got on your vehicle when you bought it brand new. I use OEM and they last me a very long time

Awesome advice guys. Thank you. Would the same go for the rotors? Professional is $53, OEM are $58. I’m assuming it’s an absolute yes for the $5 difference.

Well think of it this way, how long did the OEMs last you and are you satisfied with it?
Also, if the new part isnt as good, consider the cost of labor when you replace them again

The rotors and pads showed up today. I have to admit, I assumed all rotors were shiny metal. These OEM ones are a very flat grey. Even the ribs in the middle, which on every YouTube video look shiny and glossy, are a dule flat grey, almost like they have a thick coating on them. Anything I have to do differently because of the coating?
