Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901172-01 disc brake rotor is engineered for heavy-duty applications on Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty trucks. Its full cast iron construction ensures durability and effective heat dissipation during braking. The vented rotor design helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rust-resistant coating extends the rotor's service life by protecting against corrosion, which is especially important for vehicles exposed to harsh weather or road conditions.

This rotor features a drum-in-hat design, integrating the parking brake drum within the rotor assembly, which is common for these truck models. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. With an outside diameter of 14.29 inches and a nominal thickness of 1.5 inches, the rotor meets OEM specifications for reliable braking performance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps reduce brake noise and vibration
• Restores braking efficiency lost due to rotor corrosion or damage
• Supports safe parking brake operation with integrated drum-in-hat design

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR901172-01 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to promote proper fitment. Verify the rotor thickness before installation; replace if below the discard thickness of 1.43 inches. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for rotation direction. Use the correct torque specifications for the 8 mounting bolts to avoid warping. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, so confirm compatibility with your vehicle's ABS system.
