Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR55028 is a vented disc brake rotor made from durable cast iron, designed to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use in Chevrolet K3500, Dodge Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 trucks. Its vented construction allows for enhanced heat dissipation, which helps maintain braking efficiency during extended use. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.54 inches (39 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.46 inches (37.21 mm), ensuring a clear maintenance threshold for safe operation. With an outside diameter of 12.5 inches (317.5 mm) and eight mounting bolt holes arranged on a 6.5-inch (165.1 mm) bolt circle, this rotor is engineered for precise fitment and secure installation. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation, and the conventional rotor design is compatible with standard braking systems without ABS tone rings.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Chevrolet K3500, Dodge Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 trucks
• Addresses brake fade caused by overheating during heavy towing or hauling
• Resolves vibration or pulsation issues due to uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves braking consistency and pedal feel in demanding driving conditions
• Suitable for restoring braking performance after rotor damage or corrosion

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.46 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent rotor runout and ensure proper fit
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure attachment
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain optimal braking performance
• Check for compatibility with existing caliper and hub assemblies on Chevrolet K3500, Dodge Ram 2500, and Ram 3500
