Steer clear of grooved or slotted if you live where there is snow/ice

Just curious, how many miles you have on it ? Our state has the annual safety inspection and my pads are only 1/2 worn and I'm at 86k now. I get no brake dust at all on the rims. Seems like they certainly did good with the brakes on these trucks.

Use OEM pads, since you alread KNOW they work.
Drilled or slotted rotors... dont bother, OEM will work just fine.
Lots of ram dealers on-line that will give you a hell of a good deal... shop around.

My original OEM pads still better than 1/2, and i`m at 60,000K
