Product Details

The Power Stop Z47 MD and Fleet line is focused on vehicles that spend long hours in service and regularly carry heavy loads. Z47-1490 follows that approach with a carbon-fiber semi-metallic compound that helps maintain braking performance under demanding operating conditions. The friction material is mechanically attached to the backing plate to improve durability under repeated stops, while the included shims and chamfered pad design support smoother operation. This part number, Z47-1490, is a direct rear brake pad solution for Ram ProMaster 1500, Ram ProMaster 2500, Ram ProMaster 3500, and Ram ProMaster Rapid applications listed above.

This part cross-references 6822 and 6919AA for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake fade during repeated stop-and-go fleet driving
• Premature pad wear on vehicles running near full GVW
• Reduced braking consistency on delivery and service routes
• Noise and vibration concerns from worn rear pads
• Downtime caused by frequent brake service intervals

Installation Notes

Install Z47-1490 on the rear axle only and verify electronic wear sensor routing before final assembly. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and guide pins during brake service, and clean all mating surfaces before installation. Follow the vehicle service manual for torque specifications and bedding procedures to help the pads seat properly.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop designs the Z47 MD and Fleet brake pad line for severe-duty commercial use, with stainless-steel hardware, pad shims, and a friction compound selected for long-lasting fleet performance.
