Its full cast construction ensures structural integrity, while the vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat and maintain consistent braking performance. This rotor features a drum-in-hat design, integrating the parking brake drum into the rotor hat, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an outside diameter of 12.73 inches (323.3 mm) and a nominal thickness of 1.18 inches (30 mm), this rotor meets the specifications required for Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks. The 8 mounting bolt holes and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 6.5 inches (165.1 mm) ensure proper fitment and secure attachment. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Issues Addressed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores braking efficiency on Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses excessive brake noise due to rotor surface wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy towing or hauling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports parking brake functionality with integrated drum-in-hat design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.12 inches) before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean mounting surfaces to prevent rotor runout and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck compatibility with ABS systems; this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads and hardware during rotor replacement for optimal performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuraGo brake rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function.
