DuraGo BR900480 Disc Brake Rotor - Rear

Overview of DuraGo BR900480 Disc Brake Rotor

The DuraGo BR900480 is a cast iron disc brake rotor designed specifically for Ford E-150, E-150 Econoline, E-250, E-350 Econoline, and E-350 Super Duty models. Engineered for reliable braking performance, this rotor features a vented, drum-in-hat construction to support effective heat dissipation and durability.

• Material: Full cast iron construction for strength and heat resistance
• Vented rotor design to improve cooling during braking
• Drum-in-hat type rotor with integrated parking brake drum
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Eight mounting bolt holes with precise fitment dimensions
• Nominal thickness of 1.42 inches (36 mm) with discard thickness at 1.35 inches (34.4 mm)
• Outside diameter of 13.58 inches (345 mm) and overall height of 3.56 inches (90.5 mm)

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900480 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a robust and heat-resistant braking surface suitable for heavy-duty applications. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup and minimizing brake fade during extended use. The drum-in-hat construction integrates a parking brake drum, eliminating the need for a separate component and simplifying installation on compatible Ford Econoline and Super Duty vans.

This rotor is non-directional, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. It 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 fitment on specified Ford models. The nominal thickness of 1.42 inches (36 mm) and discard thickness of 1.35 inches (34.4 mm) provide clear service limits for maintenance.

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 for use in front or rear disc brake systems on these Ford models, particularly where a drum-in-hat rotor is required for parking brake functionality.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR900480

• Brake rotor warping or uneven wear causing vibration
• Reduced braking efficiency due to heat buildup
• Corrosion-related rotor surface degradation (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)
• Worn or damaged parking brake drum integration
• Brake noise or pulsation from rotor surface irregularities

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor is installed on compatible Ford E-Series or Super Duty models with the correct mounting bolt pattern and dimensions. Verify rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets minimum discard thickness specifications. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm ABS sensor compatibility if applicable. Properly torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor distortion.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR900480 rotor to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The full cast iron construction and vented design support consistent braking performance under demanding conditions. While this rotor does not feature a rust-resistant coating, it is engineered for durability in typical operating environments. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.
