Simple Yet Effective Maintenance Tips for Dodge Ram 1500 Brake Disc

The brake discs are one of the parts that are most prone to wear in the Dodge Ram 1500, but you can keep them at bay with proper use and maintenance. Caring for the Dodge Ram 1500 brake discs is easy and requires only the most basic of tools. In this guide, we'll share some tips on how you can take care of your Dodge Ram's brake discs:

  • Keep your eyesand earsalert for any signs of wear or damage on the discs.

A hands-on inspection remains the best way to ensure that the brake discs in your truck are running on good condition. Common brake disc problems such as warping, pitting, and scoring on the disc surface can easily be identified. In addition, be on the lookout for strange squealing or grinding noises when braking. Aside from worn brake pads, these unusual noises may indicate a problem with the discs as well.

  • Avoid making sudden, excessive braking.

This will make the brake discs overheat, causing the brake pedal to pulsate (i.e. go up and down) and damage both the discs and the brake pad. If you will be driving under conditions that require constant braking, such as in urban areas with heavy traffic, try to ease up on the gas pedal so you won't stress the brakes too much.

  • Clean the brake disc with a disc brake cleaner.

Driving in muddy and dusty environments will quickly turn the disc brakes into a dirty mess. But cleaning them with a standard soap and water will not do. This is because soap can cause the brake disc to become too dry, causing the brake pads to squeal when they rub against the disc surface. Instead, clean the discs with disc brake cleaner. Readily available in most hardware and auto parts stores, brake disc cleaners are specially formulated to remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants from the brake disc surface without drying it out.

  • Keep oil, grease, and lubricant away from the disc surfaces.

This will make it difficult for the brake pads to engage the surface of the disc properly, resulting in greatly diminished braking performance. So if oil or grease manages to contaminate the brake discs, clean the discs immediately with brake cleaner.

Whether it’s because of a warped rotor or you’re switching to a high performance model, replacing the disc brakes in your Dodge Ram 1500 should be done with precision and care. While it is recommended it have the brake discs replaced by a licensed mechanic, it is very much possible to do it in your garage, provided of course that it is done properly.

In this guide, we will share some simple but important tips on how to install the Dodge Ram 1500 brake disc in your truck.

Tip #1: Prepare all your tools.

Replacing the brake disc will require a plethora of tools, including wrenches, sockets, ratchets, channel locks, pliers, and a hammer in case you need to knock out a rust disc out of a spindle. We also recommend having some brake cleaner, lubricant, and anti-squealing solution on hand as well.

Tip #2: Make sure to clean the new brake discs before installation.

Use brake cleaning solution to remove the protective film from the brake rotors and apply the anti-squealing agent to the new pads. If the pins that hold the caliper to the pad and disc assembly are rusted, clean those up as well with sandpaper and apply lubricant on them.

Tip #3: Retract the brake caliper pistons.

Before installing a new brake disc or brake pad, you need to push back the pistons of the caliper. Use a pair of channel locks to squeeze the pistons and empty the brake fluid under the bucket. Once the pistons have been retracted, tighten the bleeder and remove the channel locks.

Tip #4: Bleed the brakes.

Once the new brake discs are in place, the last step is to bleed out the air from the system. Extra air can lead to air compression whenever the brake pedal is stepped on, resulting in a sluggish braking response.

Tip #5: Get a helping hand.

While it is possible to fit in a brake disc on your own, having someone around to help you will make the process far easier. During bleeding, for example, someone has to sit in the driver’s seat to control the brake pedals while another person opens the bleeder.

How can brake noise be eliminated?

The cause of the noise should be determined first so that the proper solution may be employed. If the problem lies on worn-out brake pads, changing them would be the best thing to do. Resurfacing the rotors would also help because a rough, glazed rotor prevents a quiet brake.

 

What are the common brake complaints on a Dodge Ram 1500?

Brake noise or squealing is the most common problem that pesters drivers. This noise is often caused by damages or wrong movements of the brake components. Dust is also an issue that car owners need to address. If it remains unwashed on the braking system, the finish of most wheels can be damaged. Brake judder is also a concern for drivers. Corrosion and uneven tightness of wheel lugs are probable causes of this abnormal vibration.

 

When are squeals signs of a problem?

Squeals may be an indication of a problem when they are caused by a rough finish on the rotor or if the brake pads have loose fitting in the calipers. Worn-out rotors and brake pads are known to produce squeals, signaling that they need to be replaced as soon as possible. Other conditions that may cause brake noise are missing springs or anti-rattle clips, improper tightening of lug nuts, and brake fluid.

 

Why does the Dodge Ram 1500 brake disc squeal? Is it normal for a brake disc to create such sound?

Yes, it is normal for some brake discs to produce a squealing sound. The squeal actually happens because of the vibration between the brake pads, rotor, and calipers. In fact, semi-metallic brake pads are noisier than other kinds of brake pads because of the materials they are made of. Usually, the longer the life of the brake pad is or the more stopping power it has, the louder the squeals it creates. New brake pads also tend to squeal. Give them a couple of weeks to wear in, and the noise will eventually sound normal.
