Answers to Your Ram 3500 Brakes Questions

  • What is causing my Ram 3500 to shake when I brake? Faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, loose or worn suspension parts, and warped rotors can cause your Ram 3500 to shake during braking. If you’re experiencing odd brake behavior, schedule a free brake inspection at a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • How many brake pads does my Ram 3500 have? On most cars, each axle is equipped with four brake pads — two per front wheel and two per back wheel. The front wheels usually work harder to help stop your Ram 3500, so don’t be surprised if your front brake pads wear out faster than your rear brake pads.
  • What is the average lifespan of Ram 3500 brake pads? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your Ram 3500 brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Does brake fluid leak when the car is off? Your Ram 3500 brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.
