New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ABFS00394
This video shows you how to install new front brake pads and rotors from TRQ on your 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1994 Dodge Ram 2500
1995 Dodge Ram 2500
1996 Dodge Ram 2500
1997 Dodge Ram 2500
1998 Dodge Ram 2500
1999 Dodge Ram 2500

Dont forget To Not just road test the vehicle after pumping up the brakes but also Do the break in procedures for mating the pads to the rotors

[@brucewallace1982]

TY for posting this tech tip. It looks doable for a guy like me. Where was the silicone paste used ?

[@jareddains5581]

Thanks! Your channel is awesome

[@jimg2885]

This is the most detailed video I have seen. Thank You for showing the start to finish. I am a rear wheel drive so I assume it is the same process..

My 99 dodge 2500 v10 doesn't have a t50 torx caliper bolt. I'm not sure what size it is but it's a hex head

[@MxASage3030]

Note for anyone watching this, this video only applies to 2000 and newer trucks, 1999 and older have the studs mounted in the rotor and the hub on the outside.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Not all brake rotors are costed in rust inhibitor Some come in bags some are coated in a thin paint so some cant be cleaned with brake clean 6:00

[@andrewjohnson2108]

Kids can follow these instructions

[@wrlatte9937]

Change the title of this video to 00-02 it’s only applicable to the last three years of second gen rams

[@devonprice9615]

Just an FYI this process only works on 01+ trucks the 2000 and older trucks you have to remove the hub assembly. Stop spreading false information if you haven’t worked on all the years of the 2nd Gen trucks.
