Technical Description and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a vented design with pillar-style vanes that promote effective heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotor has a nominal thickness of 1.496 inches (38.000 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.417 inches (36.000 mm), ensuring it meets safety standards for replacement. The outside diameter measures 13.031 inches (331.000 mm), making it compatible with specific Ford heavy-duty truck models. The rotor’s hat is coated to resist corrosion, and the smooth disc surface ensures consistent pad contact. The floating disc mounting system allows for slight movement to maintain proper alignment and reduce stress on the braking system.

Compatible Vehicles and Common Applications

• Replacement rotor for Ford Excursion models
• Suitable for Ford F-250 Super Duty brake system upgrades or repairs
• Compatible with Ford F-350 Super Duty for heavy-duty braking needs
• Addresses issues such as rotor corrosion, brake noise, and uneven pad wear
• Helps resolve brake fade caused by overheating in demanding conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1.417 inches before installation. Clean the hub surface and mounting area to prevent misalignment. Use proper torque specifications for the eight lug studs with 0.638 inch diameter holes. Since this rotor does not include bearings or ABS tone rings, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s existing components. The floating disc mounting requires careful alignment to maintain optimal rotor performance.
