2012 Ram 3500 Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing brake pads and rotors together on a 2012 Ram 3500 is the best way to restore even stopping performance and extend component life. When a new pad is mated to a worn rotor, bedding-in is inconsistent, heat distribution can be uneven, and you risk premature wear, vibration or reduced stopping power — especially on a heavy-duty diesel truck used for towing or hauling. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise, our technicians perform a measured inspection of rotor thickness, runout and surface condition before recommending combined service. If rotors are within specification we may resurface them where appropriate; if they’re out of spec we replace them with OEM rotors matched to your truck’s drivetrain and load rating. We also replace hardware, anti-rattle clips and brake fluid as needed to deliver durable, confident braking. Scheduling is easy: schedule service online and ask about current service specials to lower your out-of-pocket cost. Choosing OEM parts and factory-trained technicians delivers long-term savings by reducing repeat visits and maintaining resale value for your 2012 Ram 3500.
