Hello,

I have three Dodge RAMs: 1997 1500 4WD, 2001 1500 2WD and 2001 1500 4WD.

Last august an idiot ran a red light and totaled my 2001 2WD that I just put in new brake rotors, pads, suspension, lots of other stuff. I would like to know if I could scavenge the almost new rotors/pads/calipers from the 2001 2 wheel drive one and put them in my 1997 4 wheel drive RAM ?

Would that work ?

Thanks for any advice.

Konrad

 

I don't think so. A lot changed from 97 to 01..... Doesn't the 01 have dual piston calipers??

 

I have no clue. I watched when my mechanic installed them, but did not pay close attention. While I can install the calipers myself and complete the brake job, I am not a mechanic so I thought I would ask here people that are way, way more knowledgeable than me

I just looked on Amazon and it seems 1997 4WD is single piston and 2000-01 are dual piston

I guess maybe I will eventually use those on my 2001 4WD then.

 

Does the 97 have 4 wheel abs? A lot changed in the asb sensors depending on the configuration/year. You can look up the parts on rock auto and see what changed between your trucks.
