Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901450 disc brake rotor is engineered to meet the braking demands of Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 trucks. Its full cast iron construction ensures consistent strength and wear resistance under heavy loads. The vented design enhances airflow between rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup and helping to maintain braking efficiency during extended use. This rotor features a drum-in-hat design, combining a disc brake surface with an integrated drum brake hat, which is common in rear brake assemblies of these truck models.

With an outside diameter of 14.09 inches and a nominal thickness of 1.34 inches, the BR901450 maintains proper rotor dimensions for optimal brake pad contact and rotor longevity. The discard thickness of 1.28 inches indicates when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safe braking performance. The rotor’s 8 mounting bolt holes on a 6.5-inch bolt circle diameter ensure secure fitment to the hub assembly. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and has a non-directional brake surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Designed for Dodge Ram 1500 models
• Compatible with Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks
• Suitable for vehicles requiring a drum-in-hat type vented disc brake rotor

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping or uneven wear causing vibration
• Reduced braking performance due to worn or thin rotors
• Overheating of brake components during heavy towing or hauling
• Corrosion-related rotor damage (note: no rust resistant coating included)
• Compatibility issues with drum-in-hat rear brake assemblies on Dodge Ram trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.28 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surface and hub to prevent rotor runout
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance
• Since this rotor lacks a rust resistant coating, consider applying anti-corrosion treatment if operating in harsh environments
