• Vented rotor design to improve cooling and reduce brake fade
• Drum-in-hat construction integrates parking brake drum functionality
• Rust-resistant coating to extend rotor life and maintain appearance
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Eight mounting bolt holes with precise dimensions for secure fitment
• Nominal thickness of 1.42 inches (36 mm) with discard thickness at 1.35 inches (34.4 mm)
• Overall height of 3.56 inches (90.5 mm) and outside diameter of 13.58 inches (345 mm)

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900480-01 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a solid and reliable braking surface that withstands the rigors of daily driving and heavy-duty use. Its vented design enhances airflow, helping to dissipate heat more effectively during braking, which reduces the risk of brake fade and extends rotor life. The drum-in-hat construction integrates a parking brake drum, eliminating the need for a separate drum and simplifying the braking system.

With a rust-resistant coating, this rotor maintains its structural integrity and appearance over time, even in harsh weather conditions. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. The rotor features eight mounting bolt holes with a bolt circle diameter of 6.5 inches (165.1 mm) and a center hole diameter of 5 inches (127 mm), ensuring precise compatibility with the specified Ford Econoline and Super Duty models.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford E-150
• Ford E-150 Econoline
• Ford E-250
• Ford E-350 Econoline
• Ford E-350 Super Duty

This rotor is designed to address common braking issues such as:

• Brake rotor warping due to heat buildup
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or thin rotors
• Corrosion and rust affecting rotor performance
• Brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Parking brake functionality integrated within the rotor

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR900480-01 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to promote proper seating. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets the nominal thickness of 1.42 inches (36 mm) and is above the discard thickness of 1.35 inches (34.4 mm). Use the correct torque specifications for the eight mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor has a non-directional surface, it can be installed on either side without affecting performance.
