Technical Details and Construction

The BR54048 rotor features a full cast iron construction that balances durability and heat management. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade during heavy use. With an outside diameter of 12.13 inches and a nominal thickness of 1.19 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for the specified Ford truck models. The mounting bolt pattern includes seven holes with a 5.91 inch (150 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment and secure installation. The rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and has a conventional, non-directional brake surface, allowing for flexible placement on either side of the vehicle.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This DuraGo disc brake rotor is designed specifically for use on Ford trucks, including the F-150, F-150 Heritage, and F-250 models. It is suitable for drivers seeking a replacement rotor that matches factory specifications and supports consistent braking performance under various driving conditions.

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors
• Addressing brake pulsation or vibration issues
• Improving heat dissipation to reduce brake fade
• Restoring proper rotor thickness for safe braking
• Ensuring secure mounting with correct bolt pattern

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR54048 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of rust or debris. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it is above the discard thickness of 1.09 inches. Use proper torque specifications for the seven mounting bolts to avoid warping. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.
