Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5593 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and effective heat management. Its vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. With a nominal thickness of 1.3 inches and a discard thickness of 1.21 inches, this rotor maintains structural integrity while indicating clear replacement thresholds. The 12.5-inch outside diameter and eight mounting bolt holes ensure precise compatibility with Chevrolet K1500 Suburban, K2500, K2500 Suburban, K3500, and Dodge Ram 2500 models. The non-directional braking surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Chevrolet K1500 Suburban
• Chevrolet K2500 and K2500 Suburban
• Chevrolet K3500
• Dodge Ram 2500
• GMC models matching the above specifications

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR5593

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn or thin rotors
