Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / February 2006Warped Dakota Disc Brakes
Well known problem for all you Dakota owners out there. My front disc brakes have warped again, 3rd time I'll replace them and I only have 50k on my '01 quad cab. What are a good aftermarket product that I can replace these with? Is it that difficult to do myself? Thanks http://www.300below.com/site/motor_testimonials.html And you will never replace them again. Coasty > Well known problem for all you Dakota owners out there.

What kind of pad are you running? after 20 yrs in repair i found the a good set of carbon metallic pads are the best. > http://www.300below.com/site/motor_testimonials.html > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> >> Thanks I actually don't know.

What's the run out? I've got 75K miles on my original pads and rotors, and they still work great. I check the run out every 5K miles and they are still well within specs. Read this before spending a dime, written by Carrol Smith: http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_warped_brakedisk.shtml With modern braking systems, you can't always rely on the old fashioned pulsating pedal to know when they are truly warped. There are a few other abnormalities that cause that same pedal feel.

I had to replace the front brake rotors in my '01 Dak, but it was for excessive rusting and pitting. I replaced them with aftermarket rotors. jmc That was a very interesting article, thank you for posting the link. Perhaps that's my issue. I'm taking it in to a guy this weekend (3rd different garage). I know they have their own work Dakota sitting outside, so maybe they've had the same experiences as me. >> Well known problem for all you Dakota owners out there.

This breakin technique worked very well. I now have about 35,000 miles on these rotors without any judder. Paul |
