How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

How often should you replace your 2012 Ram 2500 rotors?

  • Intervals vary; inspect rotors during every brake service and alignment. Heavy towing or severe duty calls for more frequent checks.
  • We offer service financing so you can address maintenance immediately and protect resale value over time.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors on a 2012 Ram 2500 serve the same basic function—convert kinetic energy into heat to slow your truck—but they face different loads and wear patterns. The front rotors typically do the majority of the stopping work and therefore heat up and wear faster, especially in towing or heavy-load situations common for Ram 2500 owners. Rear rotors often work with parking and stability systems and may be smaller or less stressed, but they are equally important for balanced braking and vehicle control. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise our technicians measure rotor thickness, run thermal and flatness checks, and diagnose whether resurfacing will restore safe performance or full replacement is required. We use OEM-quality rotors and parts so braking balance, ABS, and stability systems continue to perform as designed.
