RAM brake squeal - I can't take it no mo'

[Eagle]

Will this be a pizza and beer event in driveway featuring the RAM DOOZEL DUALLY 3500

You wouldn't come up even if it were going to be :wtc:

 

[DEEZUZ]

Would not. I'd probably get clothe lined by the tow mirrors or stub my shin on hitch

The stock brakes were a little noisy and dusty on my dad's Ram 1500. I replaced the pads and rotors with Raybestos EHT pads and R300 rotors. It's quiet now. I use those pads on all of my daily driven vehicles and have never had a noise issue.

They are very popular with all the corvette/camaro people with brembos. The brembo pads dust like grandmas house.

Curious if the grease works, I always thought that was a scam, ain't no grease sticking around for long after applying the brakes

 

[Eagle]

should probably work. question is for how long.

My brother had 1998 Mercedes S420 and he put some cheap pads, they sure started squeaking, he asked what to do and I told him to get Better pads, few days later I took his car to go to work cuz mine was down, on the i94 close to DnTn fast moving traffic went to sudden dead stop, I pushed brakes and it kept going, I stepped on it and it was barely slowing down, ended up on the left shoulder and stopped after I passed third car on the right, coast me good nerve cells that day,
Turned out he sprayed his brakes with WD40,

we've had people come in to the bike shop after lubing their bike brakes with chain lube. They're not far off of the cost of auto brakes so costly mistakes for people.

Not sure of they are the same, but I put Duralast Max pads on my car and they are embarrassingly loud. They are almost as bad as how road race pads sound lol. I seized a caliper and destroyed the pads on the driver's side of my daily. I replaced the caliper and had no choice but to buy the only pads autozone had in stock for my car. They leave no noticeable dust on my wheels, but no matter what I do, I can't get them to quiet down. I'll be taking advantage of the lifetime warranty and returning them as soon as I find a few hours to swap to different pads.

like applied chain lube to bike rotors/pads? I recently lubed up my brake/shifting cables with chain lube and hopefully no way to leak down directly on rotors

. I don't know how much you have to tow on a regular basis though.

Just him and his EGO

I actually almost just bought those before I realized that the brakes on my truck are like new. It even says on the box "for exceptionally smooth, quiet stopping".

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

With Dodges choice in tires.. seems like any new pads/rotors should fix it though?

Yep


You'll be fine.

Maybe I just got unlucky lol. I'll be replacing them as soon as I can with Raybestos Element3 pads. I've used those on a handful of cars and they are always quiet.

I think u should just trade the Doozel in for a Vette.... Brake squeak fixed

:hahano:

[MENTION=340]Eagle[/MENTION] I dealt with this on my 2500 Ram as well after brakes got hot. I swapped to a set of power stop rotors and powerstop Z36 pads and noise went away.

 

[MrMezger996]

[MENTION=340]Eagle[/MENTION] I really liked these pads on my 2500, and these are the rotors I swapped to

 

[Eagle]

Drilled and slotted rotors on a 1 ton! I'd feel like such a poser.

 

[MrMezger996]

They are a lot better!! You can't see them anyway.
