In this video we replace the front pads and rotors on a 2013 Non-Hemi Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. It is pretty routine just as we have shown in many other videos. -Enjoy!

    Some of the Brake Pad Break in procedures are insane slam on brakes at 45mph 5 times then Light brake pressure at 15mph 8 times then Medium slam on brake 10 times at 50 like Come on With these company's that make brake pads they all have a different procedure I tend to do the sane as you Eric O they don't need to be 300 degrees to Brandish the pads they just need to be used to Mary the pads to the rotors good video Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC

    What's going on with your roads? I thought you were the greatest country on earth? And this is the result? I have never seen a road in the western world as bad as that.

    Great video. The placing the top pin and hinging it down is a great tip. Thanks.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paublus Americanus AMERICANUS says:

    What I would like to know is every time I buy new pads I have never gotten any hardware. I think you mean those squealers and end clips. Maybe you have to tell them you want them and pay extra. Only been replacing pads since 1970 and they have never given me hardware. Shucks I never knew you could ask for it.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Clifford says:

    For brakes on a Dodge RAM, is there a difference between hemi and non-hemi?

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars KRTube75 says:

    It's a Semi Hemi.

    Sheesh. And I thought Hawaii roads were bad.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars northwest mechanic says:

    I go to autozone for all my parts. I always buy duralast. Never has failed me.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars syntaxerorr says:

    I use thin film of regular grease…sometimes brake grease between the hub and the rotor and the rotor and the wheel. I started doing this after a very bad experience with a mazda brake rotor that would not come free from the hub on one of my parents vehicles. I also include at least one panic stop in the test drive. Make sure it is tracking straight.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Harrison says:

    Had a couple cans of that and someone mentioned that issue and when I was cleaning up putting my toys away both cans were missing and I had non left the person who brought it to my attention pilfered both cans his father brought them back and said the kid didnt think I was paying enough attention to what he was telling me I said that's fine dont bring him back round here then

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Harrison says:

    Yeah I'll make sure I dont go to that guys shop I like to stop with out clunking and banging

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Harrison says:

    Yeah chip flake or crack remember the good old days when ford had calipers that had 4 stainless steel pistons 2 and a half inches to 3 inches diameter and rebuilds took 20 minutes each

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lawrence Jensen says:

    Yeah let's play that game

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars scott gaydos says:

    Hey Eric, love your channel. I know guys who spray white lithium grease on the hub before putting on the rotor. What is your opinion on that? Thanks.

    WD40 stuff stays for "up to a year"….who changes their discs (UK) every year?

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephen Mcgraw says:

    How you like Dodge truck Eric 😂

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars original fireman cancelled says:

    Out of the dozen of videos I have watched no one has yet to show how do you compress the calipers without pushing fluid through the reservoir

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars skappak1 says:

    Excellent vid

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shaun Adams says:

    Hello im having trouble replacing E bRAKE shoes on my 2010 Ram 1500 4+4 theres got to be an easyr way, any info would be appreciated love this channel

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Bierschbach says:

    so I have a question.. how many UGA.. DUGA' s does it take to equal one UFFDA. just curious 🙂

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frederick Burns says:

    Bendix Westinghouse brake school do not recommend and actually they do not recycle brake fluid that is old in other words open your brake bleeder then collapse the piston for your disc brakes as old brake fluid has been heated and cooled many times and collects moisture when you push it back it can cause problems in your master cylinder!!!

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kwagmire says:

    "relatively clean" LMAO

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bullmoose Piper says:

    Eric, I know this is an old video and you probably won't read my comment, but…I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge, experience, and technique with us. You've saved me so much money and given me an invaluable education in how to take care of my own vehicle within the bounds of my capability. You saved me hundreds of dollars on a brake job on my Hemi Ram, and I know it's done right with far more attention than any parts swapper is going to do at the local swap shop. I've done my own brakes for years, but I had no idea the proper lubrication points and the fine detail stuff. Makes all the difference in the world. Seriously man, can't thank you enough.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fred Kaminski says:

    Where do you get that sanding tool that fit over the wheel stud?

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Boodz says:

    I use ugga duggas lol

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars NightForce 1 says:

    As always Eric, thank you for another great instructional video and a bit of entertainment..

    I enjoy brakes, shocks, ball joints, tie-rods, universal joints, CV axles, and just about anything suspension associated…I guess I enjoy just about everything!

    Thanks again and say hello to everyone on your end!

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars m l says:

    so why was there no brake hardware (springs) on those pads? previous person who did the brake job didn't put on ?

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Willie Motley says:

    The girl does verry good with the comments,you trained her good

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Willie Motley says:

    let the girl do more videos.

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Syed Hamza says:

    Eric, I’ve gone through 4 sets of premium rotors and pads by autozone on my odyssey in 2 years. Every replacement is due to shimmy or steering shake during braking. Any tips? I am really frustrated and have even replaced calipers with same results. Appreciate any insight
