Replacing Your Dodge Ram 2500’s Brake Pads

When should you change the brake pads on your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500? It depends on you and your driving style. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your Ram 2500. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Thankfully, when you get Dodge Ram 2500 brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your Ram 2500, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Dodge’s standards.

Brake Repair for Dodge Ram 2500

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Dodge  Ram 2500. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. Our technicians work to prevent more brake damage. Get your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 brakes fixed at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We offer many affordable brake repairs like brake pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum refinishing, brake fluid exchange, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder installation.

Questions About Your Dodge Ram 2500 Brakes

  • What can cause my Ram 2500 to shake when I apply the brakes? If your Ram 2500 shakes when you brake, you could be dealing with warped rotors, faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, or loose or worn suspension parts. Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • How many brake pads does my Ram 2500 come with? It’s common for vehicles to have four brake pads per axle — two on each front wheel and two on each back wheel. Since the front wheels tend to put in more work when bringing your Ram 2500 to a stop, the front brake pads usually wear out sooner than the rear ones.
  • What is the average lifespan of Ram 2500 brake pads? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your Ram 2500 can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.
  • Should my Ram 2500 be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your Ram 2500 brake system is a closed hydraulic system, so a brake fluid leak likely means you have an issue in your brake system. Over time, brake components can wear out or get damaged, causing a brake fluid leak.
