Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR53014 rotor is a vented, full cast iron disc brake rotor designed specifically for Dodge Dakota models. Its vented design helps dissipate heat more effectively during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under heavy use. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.02 inches (26 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.96 inches (24.5 mm), providing clear service limits for maintenance. With an outside diameter of 12.13 inches (308 mm) and an overall height of 2.48 inches (62.9 mm), this rotor fits precisely to the Dodge Dakota’s brake assembly. The six mounting bolt holes with a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter ensure secure installation. This conventional rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and has a non-directional braking surface, making it compatible with standard brake systems on the Dodge Dakota.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation or noise
• Restores braking efficiency lost due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Addresses overheating issues by improving heat dissipation with vented design
• Eliminates uneven brake pad wear caused by damaged or uneven rotors
• Suitable for routine maintenance to maintain safe braking performance on Dodge Dakota

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness before installation
• Clean rotor surface to remove any protective coating or debris prior to mounting
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with existing brake pads and calipers on Dodge Dakota
• Inspect related brake components during installation for optimal system performance
