Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front brake pad wear on Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks
• Reduced braking consistency during frequent stop-and-go driving
• Brake service needs on trucks carrying heavy loads or towing
• Wear sensor replacement when the existing mechanical sensor is due for service
• Noise or vibration concerns associated with worn front pads

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and front axle application before installation. Inspect rotors, calipers, and pad hardware condition during brake service, and confirm the wear sensor routing matches the original setup. Because this pad set is listed for specific Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 front applications, match the part number SX459A and FMSI 7339A-D459 to the existing brake configuration before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Wagner Brake designs and tests SevereDuty brake pads for demanding fleet and heavy-duty service conditions.
