Easy Maintenance Tips for Dodge Ram 2500 Brake Disc and Pad Kit

Losing the brakes while driving on the highway is a nightmare for many Dodge Ram 2500 drivers, but it's a scenario that can be all too real if the truck's disc brakes are not properly maintained. The Dodge Ram 2500 disc brake and pad kit is designed for heavy duty use, but it also requires care in regular intervals especially since it is constantly exposed to extreme heat and stress even when under normal driving conditions.

Proper use and maintenance of the brake rotors and brake pads in your Dodge Ram 2500 helps prevent any problems with your truck's brakes while driving and ensures a long operating service life for these parts. In this guide, we'll list down easy yet highly effective maintenance tips for the brake pads and other disc brake components.

  • Avoid making hard or unnecessary braking.

Constant braking puts the disc brake under extreme stress and heat, which could cause a lateral run-out of the disc brake and cause it to fail. In the same manner, sudden braking may also cause the brakes to malfunction. So when driving, try to keep your speed at a constant rate; refrain from accelerating frequently, especially if you are driving in heavy traffic or are making a lot of turns, to prevent unnecessary braking.

  • Keep the brake fluid filled.

Disc brakes that are low on brake fluid will require more force from the brake pedal in order to engage the disc brake. Always check the brake fluid indicator in your truck and refill it when necessary.

  • Conduct regular checkups.

Ideally, disc brakes should be inspected and serviced by a mechanic at least once every two years or 50,000, with brake pads requiring replacement for half that. But if you notice any signs of wear beforehand with your truck's disc brakes, such as squealing noises or difficulty engaging the brake, don't hesitate bringing your vehicle to the auto repair shop.

  • ‘Bleed' the brakes.

Bleeding the brakes is a necessary task whenever you change the brake lines or suspect air has gotten into the brake lines. The process itself is relatively straightforward provided you have the tools on hand, but it's recommended to have it done by a mechanic as getting all of the air out of the brake lines can be pretty tricky to accomplish.

The disc brakes are one of the more common trouble spots in the Dodge Ram 2500, so don’t be surprised if the brakes start to act up in yours after a while. And when you do encounter problems with the Dodge Ram 2500 brake disc and pad kit, it is important that you are able to identify the specific problem in your disc brakes in order to make the necessary repairs and replacement.

In this guide, we’ll share tips on how you can troubleshoot disc brake and brand pad problems in the Dodge Ram 2500:

Brake noises

Loud braking sounds, with grinding or squealing noise in particular, may indicate that the brake pads or brake rotors have worn out or are malfunctioning. The brake pads slow down the wheel by gripping the brake rotors, and noises occur when the brake pads are having difficulty engaging the surface of the rotors. Check the condition of the pads and rotors and replace them if needed.

Vibrations in the steering wheel

If you can feel the steering wheel shake when braking, the brake rotors in the front may have cracked, warped, or damaged in some other way. Minor damage on the brake rotors can still be machined to its original state, but severely worn or warped rotors will necessitate replacement.

The pedal needs to be pressed down further in order to stop

A brake pedal that’s getting harder to engage usually means low brake fluid levels, but it may also mean the brake pads have worn out. If the brake fluid levels are OK, check the condition of the brake pads. Jeep brake pads often have wear indicators, so determining the condition of the pads in your truck should be as easy as checking these indicators.

Pulling over when braking

A stuck brake caliper can result in the front disc brakes pulling over to one side when brakes are applied, so when this happens, check the brake lines and the caliper itself for blockage.

Brake pedal goes up and down

A pulsating brake pedal is often caused by excessive lateral run-out on the disc brake, which in turn is caused by excessive heat.

Why is a brake disc and pad kit preferred in upgrading the Dodge Ram 2500's stopping power?

Some believe that the simple act of pairing up high-friction brake pads with a stock or an aftermarket brake disc will improve the stopping power of their vehicle. However, different-branded discs and pads may lead to a sudden failure due to the unmatched qualities of these components. That's why the brake discs and pads sold in kits are recommended for the upgrade. The brake disc, which is severely exposed to heat and stress, should be engineered to handle the friction produced by the brake pads. Stress-relieved discs and high-friction pads sold in kits have been tested together to provide the truck effective and maximum braking performance.

 

Should the Dodge Ram 2500 brake discs be replaced if the brake pads are already worn out?

Worn brake pads, which are left unchanged, may cause the disc to lose its flatness because the pads' metal indicators may scrape the disc's surface every time the wheels turn. This will produce a grinding noise, and cause the brake disc to warp. If the disc is warped, the brake pads will have difficulties in stopping the Dodge Ram 2500 especially if running at high speeds. Replacing the damaged discs and pads, however, should be easy nowadays as brake disc and pad kits are widely available.

 

What is the relation between a vibrating steering wheel and a brake disc and pad kit on a Dodge Ram 2500?

A steering wheel that vibrates every time the truck slows down suggests a warped front brake disc that may have been damaged by rust or worn brake pads. When the brake pedal is pressed, the pads squeeze the warped brake disc, which causes the pads to pulsate inside the calipers. The steering wheel, then, vibrates as the calipers begin to shake. So if the steering wheel on the Dodge vibrates when making a stop, immediately check the discs and pads for any signs of wear. Should these need a replacement, choose the most suitable brake disc and pad kit for the Dodge Ram 2500.
