Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5318 rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a robust and heat-resistant braking surface. Its vented design enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps maintain consistent performance and reduces the risk of brake fade. With an outside diameter of 12.82 inches and a nominal thickness of 1.19 inches, this rotor meets the specifications required for heavy-duty Dodge and Plymouth trucks including the B300, B350, D200, D300, D350, and PB350 models. The rotor features eight mounting bolt holes arranged on a 6.5 inch (165.1 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring secure fitment. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. This conventional rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and is not cross-drilled or slotted, focusing on straightforward, reliable braking performance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Eliminating noise and vibration from uneven rotor surfaces
• Restoring proper rotor dimensions for safe braking on Dodge B300, B350, D200, D300, D350, and Plymouth PB350 trucks
• Providing a vented rotor solution to improve heat dissipation under heavy load conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness of 1.13 inches before installation
• Clean mounting surface and hub to prevent rotor runout
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check brake pads for wear and replace if necessary to ensure optimal rotor performance
• Verify compatibility with vehicle ABS system as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
