The Posi-Mold technology ensures a consistent friction surface and improved heat dissipation, making these pads suitable for Dodge Ram trucks requiring dependable front disc brake components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PM18-965 brake pads feature a semi-metallic friction material composition that balances braking power and pad durability. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.7 mm, providing a substantial amount of material for longer service intervals. The slotted design helps channel away dust and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by preventing edge lift and vibration. Mechanical pad wear sensors are included to alert drivers when pad replacement is necessary, helping maintain safe braking performance. Additionally, pad shims are supplied to further reduce noise and ensure a secure fit within the brake caliper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for Dodge Ram 1500 front disc brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Dodge Ram 2500 front disc brake systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for Dodge Ram 3500 front disc brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for drivers seeking performance-grade semi-metallic brake pads for their Dodge Ram trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses issues such as brake fade, noise, and premature pad wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the PM18-965 brake pads, ensure the mechanical wear sensors are properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. The included pad shims should be installed to minimize noise and vibration. Verify that the chamfered edges align correctly with the rotor surface to prevent uneven wear. It is recommended to inspect the brake rotors for wear or damage and resurface or replace them if necessary to optimize braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Stop manufactures these brake pads to meet performance-grade standards suitable for Dodge Ram trucks.
