Dodge Ram 2500 2010-2018 Brakes Specifications

Yes, these brakes are designed to be compatible with all 2010-2018 Dodge RAM 2500 models, including both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. They meet OEM specifications and are suitable for both standard and heavy-duty use. Always verify your vehicle's specific trim and brake system (e.g., single or dual rear wheel) before purchasing to ensure proper fitment.

For optimal performance, inspect brake pads and rotors every 12,000 miles or annually. Replace brake pads when they reach 3mm thickness or show uneven wear. Rotors should be resurfaced or replaced if they exhibit scoring, warping, or thickness below the minimum specification. Brake fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles or as recommended in your owner's manual.

To replace brake pads, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and hang it securely to avoid damaging the brake line. Remove the old pads and inspect the rotors. Install new pads, ensuring they are seated correctly. Reattach the caliper and tighten bolts to the specified torque. Repeat for all wheels and test the brakes before driving.

Squeaking or vibrating brakes may indicate worn pads, uneven rotor surfaces, or debris buildup. Inspect the pads and rotors for wear or damage. Clean the brake components and apply brake grease to the back of the pads. If the issue persists, resurface or replace the rotors and ensure all hardware is properly torqued.

To optimize brake performance, use high-quality pads and rotors designed for heavy-duty use. Regularly clean brake components to prevent debris buildup. Upgrade to slotted or drilled rotors for better heat dissipation. Ensure proper bedding of new pads by following the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid aggressive driving to reduce wear and overheating.
