2017 Ram 3500 Brake Pads and Rotors

The braking package on a heavy-duty truck like the 2017 Ram 3500 deserves coordinated care. Replacing pads without addressing rotor condition can lead to uneven wear, noise and reduced stopping power, so our technicians always inspect pads, rotors and calipers together. When we recommend replacing both pads and rotors at the same time, it’s because matched components restore braking performance, reduce vibration and extend the life of the system. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise we use OEM-grade rotors, hardware kits and pads engineered for the truck’s payload and towing capacity, which means safer braking under load. Choosing the dealership ensures the correct rotor spec and bedding procedure are followed, preserving performance and resale value. Take advantage of our current service specials and consider service financing to address both pads and rotors now—doing both together is more cost-effective and reduces future downtime. To get a personalized inspection and estimate, please schedule service online or call our service team.
