the 1 3/16" dually cylinders fit no problem? where can i find the ram 3500 8800 lb gvwr calipers. all i can find is 1 option for the calipers

 

I dont know if the 3500 calipers will work, I put the 2500 calipers on my truck and they were direct bolt on replacement, I just went to autozone and got my calipers there, comes with a lifetime warranty so if I ever have a problem I can just take them in and replace them.

 

The 3500 calipers will bolt on its just that the rotor is not thick enough I am trying to find a way I can get 3500 8 lug rotors on my 5 lug front don't think the holes will match up

 

has anybody heard that in 2000 and up dodges u can not do this mod because the wheel cylinders are the same size as the one tons?

 

i did read on this forum somewhere that someone had done it....... but cant find where. so your saying to only use the 2500 7500 lb gvwr calipers?

 

from what i can see is that yours has a 1 1/6" bore size... however u could get the dually gm cylinder with a 1 3/16 " bore.... correct me if im wrong

 

really..... ill have to compare rotors. the piston wont extend far enough to compromise for the difference in thickness or what?

 

I did some looking into it when I was replacing brakes and I looked at the rotors and looked on the INTERNET at the difference I think it would work until the pad got almost wore out then the piston might shoot out.

 

To dodgeman52 it would not be an upgrade if you went from a 2000 1500 cylinder to a 2000 3500 cylinder because they are the same size, you should be able to get a cylinder for a 94-99 3500 or go with a chevy 1ton for the dually and you will be better off

 

i think i found the solution.... the late model (2000 and up i think) 2nd gen 1500's have a thicker rotor with a larger diameter as well. that SHOULD solve the problem. a guy on this forum has reportedly done it on his '01 with sucess. so i think we just need '01 rotors and were good
