Dodge Ram 3500 Van Brake Pad Replacement

When should you change the brake pads on your 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Van? It depends on you and your driving style. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 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. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your Ram 3500 Van. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers brake pad replacement for Dodge Ram 3500 Vans that comes with a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your Ram 3500 Van, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Dodge’s standards.

Brake Repair for Dodge Ram 3500 Van

Your Dodge Ram 3500 Van may be powered by a strong engine. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. Don't wait if you're experiencing brake squeaks or a loss of braking power. Safe driving and responsive brakes go hand in hand. Plus, ignoring your brake problems can result in more damage and higher brake repair bills. 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. We can help you steer clear of further brake damage. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Van. Our brake repair services include pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum resurfacing, brake fluid exchange/bleeding, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder installation.

Answers to Your Ram 3500 Van Brakes Questions

  • What can cause my Ram 3500 Van to shake when I apply the brakes? If your Ram 3500 Van 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 3500 Van have? Most cars have four brake pads per axle, with two pads on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front brake pads usually wear out faster than the rear pads since they do more of the work when stopping the car.
  • How long should my Ram 3500 Van brake pads last? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your Ram 3500 Van 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 3500 Van be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your Ram 3500 Van has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.
