Brake Service FAQs — 2020 Ram 3500

Why is a brake service important for a 2020 Ram 3500?

• Preserves stopping power on a heavy-duty truck: routine inspections catch pad wear, rotor heat damage, and hydraulic issues before they become safety risks.
• Protects towing and payload capability — worn brakes increase stopping distance when hauling, so timely service improves safety and control.
• Certified technicians use factory diagnostic procedures to ensure proper clearance, bedding, and torque — extending component life and saving you money long term.
• Our dealership often costs less than independent shops while delivering OEM parts and factory-trained service, creating immediate and long-term savings.
• We offer service financing to get repairs done now and pay later, and warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to stay protected.

How long does a brake replacement take?

• Brake pad replacement: front or rear pads are typically completed within 1–2 hours depending on axle and configuration.
• Rotor replacement: replacing rotors takes longer — plan for 2–4 hours when rotors are turned or replaced, depending on parts availability.
• Our certified technicians and OEM tools let us complete work faster than average shops without cutting corners.
• To minimize downtime, schedule service online and ask about shuttle options or rental guidance when you arrive.
• We honor warranties and keep transparent estimates so you know expected completion time and costs up front.

How much does a brake service cost for a 2020 Ram 3500?

• Costs vary by axle, pads vs. pads+rotors, and whether heavy-duty components are required; our pricing is competitive and often less than independent shops for the same level of service.
• Our focus on OEM parts, factory-trained technicians, and diagnostic accuracy creates immediate savings (fewer come-backs) and long-term value (longer component life).
• We publish current offers under service specials and can provide a written estimate before work begins.
• Service financing is available so you can proceed with necessary repairs now and pay over time, protecting vehicle safety and resale value.
• Remember: warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage.

How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors on a 2020 Ram 3500?

• Brake pad life depends on use; heavy towing or commercial duty shortens pad life — many drivers see 30,000–70,000 miles, but inspections are key.
• Rotors typically last longer than pads but can warp or thin from heat and heavy loads; we inspect rotor thickness and runout during every service.
• Routine inspections at manufacturer intervals preserve safety and detect early wear — book an inspection to avoid costly rotor replacement later.
• Scheduling regular checkups with our technicians helps maintain braking performance and long-term savings through preventive care.

What is included in a 2020 Ram 3500 brake service?

• Full visual inspection of pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, and fluid condition with written recommendations.
• Brake pad replacement, rotor turning or replacement, caliper servicing, hardware replacement, and brake fluid check/flush as needed.
• Post-service road test and diagnostics to confirm performance and ensure correct bedding procedures for OEM parts.
• All work uses OEM parts and follows factory procedures; warranty work must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
• You can schedule service online and view current service specials to save on routine maintenance.

2020 Ram 3500 Brake Pads and Rotors

The braking system on a 2020 Ram 3500 is engineered for heavy-duty performance, and replacing both brake pads and rotors together often delivers the safest, most cost-effective outcome. New pads on worn rotors may feel fine initially but can introduce uneven wear, noise, and reduced braking efficiency under load — especially when towing. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise our certified technicians inspect pad thickness, rotor runout, and hat corrosion to determine whether turning or replacing rotors is the right call. When we replace both components at once we ensure proper bedding, balanced heat dispersion, and consistent pedal feel across axles, which reduces rework and extends the life of new pads. Using OEM brake pads and rotors maintains manufacturer standards for stopping distance and durability, which protects your resale value and long-term ownership costs. We’ll always provide a clear estimate and explain immediate and long-term savings — and if you need flexible payment options, we offer service financing so you can address safety issues today and pay over time.
