I have a 2003 1500 Ram and I'm going to replace the brakes. What are the best pads and rotors for dodge trucks. I'm thinking of going ceramic.
I live in a town with many hills....lots of braking.

 

i just bought powerstop ceramics and drilled and slotted rotors for like 150 shipped took like 3 days to get them heres the link they are great to work with great quality and fast free ship....and 100% feedback.....this link is for just fronts they have a kit for rears just goto their store and search its only like 300 i think.....good luck

I agree with ceramics and use them myself. I have the Cmax ceramics from Autozone and love them. They are good to me at 60 a pair and lifetime warranty. However, the rotors I use are still OEM for now.

 

ditto. my ceramics are from o'reilly

 

2003....should have come with Ceramic pads from the factory, anything less (semi-metallic) will be a downgrade.

Unless Chrysler is cheaper than i realized? Chit...GM started ceramic pads on all trucks back in like 98 or something...Ford too.

 

Dog, I remember you saying some time back about ceramics coming on some of the trucks. Mine as you know is an 04 and IDK what really came on them but only know what I later put on as said above. But although they never squeeled, they would dust up bad and I mean mad. Thats why i always thought they OEMs were semi metallics

 

When it comes time to buy my pads i'm gunna grab a set of Hawk Brake Pads from moes. They are a little pricey but are quality

 

Also not lifetime. That may not mean a lot to some but on a wearable part that will be replaced a few times throughout the life of the truck, that means a lot to me.

 

That's because you'll burn through pads quicker trying to stop those gigantic ferris wheels you got on there....lmao
so i exaggeratted a little...hehehee
