Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5446 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of strength and thermal conductivity. Its vented design helps reduce brake fade by allowing air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, which is essential for maintaining consistent braking performance under load. With a nominal thickness of 1.19 inches and a discard thickness of 1.12 inches, this rotor offers a clear service life indicator to ensure timely replacement. The rotor features a 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 5.5 inch (139.7 mm) bolt circle diameter, compatible with specific Ford Bronco, F-100, and F-150 models. The non-directional braking surface simplifies installation, as the rotor can be mounted in either orientation without affecting performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This rotor is specifically designed for use on Ford Bronco, F-100, and F-150 trucks. It is suitable for drivers seeking a reliable replacement rotor that matches OEM specifications for these models. The DuraGo BR5446 is ideal for addressing common braking issues such as:

• Brake rotor warping or uneven wear
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn rotors
• Excessive brake noise or vibration
• Overheating during towing or heavy-duty use
• Corrosion-related rotor surface degradation (note: this rotor does not have a rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR5446 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to prevent uneven rotor seating. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system before installation. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR5446 rotor to meet industry standards for durability and performance. The full cast iron construction ensures consistent braking under normal operating conditions. While this rotor does not feature a rust-resistant coating, proper maintenance can help extend its service life. Warranty details should be confirmed with the product documentation or supplier.
