In this video I knock out some front pads and rotors on a 2016 Ram Promaster City. Pretty simple job. It does use an electronic wear indicator on the front pads but other than that pretty standard. -Enjoy!

Hello, do you happen to know the part numbers for the clips you undid at @ the 40s mark? Thx
Question? on these Promaster City is there any chance the engine can turn off when you slam the brakes and it would stop the engines from working??
Weird I saw this vid 2 yrs apart on easter.
Great job
Finally I video where taking out old disk doesn't get skipped.. thanks a billion
So Mitchell on demand says 77ftlbs for torque on the brake caliper bolts….. it can not be right. That is the same as the brake caliper bracket bolts.
i remember rose
rebadged Fiat Doblo
I thought it was hilarious when he said big nasty lmao!
I remember Rose, and I’m the same age as you. When I was a kid it was on tv when I got home from school. We only had 2 channels back then.
I just want to know what kind of drill that is being used to take out the screws in the back. I need some effortless tool like that
Thanks! Nice to be able to see what I will be getting into 👍🏼
So i have a friend that does not put grease on the caliper like you just did. He claims it creates noise or glaze up the rotor. Something like that. Great videos by the way 💪🏾🙌🏽👌🏾
Here in italy those thinks are all over our roads as Fiat doblo',most of then whit diesel engine. Opel used to make a similar of that called combo
It's my 2,000,000 brake job I've watch. : )
Thank you so much for your video. It really helped out a lot! Very professional. I will subscribe
I’m going to add my opinion.
You should take those caliper bracket bolts and throw them away. Use regular headed bolts if possible. But Chrysler probably made the bolt land so small that it would not work. I’ve never done a brake job on anything that new. So I would not know.
Another great Brake Job.
Considering a ProMaster for camping.
Watched the vid to get a better idea of maintenance on the beast.
How many brake jobs will we watch? ALL of ‘em!! It’s more than entertainment or information; it’s stress relief! I dare say three or four a day would keep me in trouble with the lil Mrs. for not gettin’ enough of my own projects done, tho’.
Thanks, Eric, for sharing ‘em.
what, no brake cleaner?
You funny! Man dig it. Recently bought used ram pro master city 2016. Thank you your video helped me get started. Have you changed the radiator fan in this make and model?
What's the axle nut size?
Hello from Connecticut
Thank you for calling out what special tools i needed for this job just finished this on a 2019 promaster
PIECE OF SHIT DODGE
LIKE FORD TOO
the pattern is 5x98mm can these use 5x100mm?
It was very nice of you to video this You did great. Can those torx screws be changed with traditional bolts?
Me likie
I have done hundreds of brake jobs and I can always learn something new
Any idea about a supposed "Oil Cooler Failure"?
My RAM Promaster City overheated, and the dealer is claiming it won't fall under the Powertrain Warranty because it was the "cooler" not the oil pump, which isn't in the list of powertrain parts that are covered.
I suspect they're trying to screw me and duck the warranty, because I spoke to another dealership's parts guy and he said he's never heard of an Oil Cooler failure in a Promaster City and confirmed that it's a passive part that oil just passes through. But I don't know how a passive part like that fails other than cracking and allowing oil out, but I had NO oil loss, and checking the stick, it was still topped off fairly after it overheated, blowing oil into the coolant.
To me, sounds like the oil pump failed, which is under the powertrain warranty, and they're just trying to duck paying for it by saying it was the oil cooler that failed….
I want more brake jobs.
You keep recording brake jobs and I'll keep hanging out in the shop with you. I wrench in the south, so watching you work in the rust belt is cool.
i do remember rose off the gold grils
That entire assembly looks awfully fragile. One NYC pothole would probably tear that asunder.
I've watched a few brake jobs now. Was that a sheep or a goat sound. Every action should have a animal sound and it will cut your explanation time in half or something.
Thats hilarious big nasty featurette dont stop but brake cleaner is missing in some videos goat oil FF special circumstances
Those brakes install exactly like BMW brakes do. Right down to the caliper clip, Allen key pins, etc etc. I guess its using European hardware.
In Europe that is a Fiat Dobló or Opel Combo
I believe that Your "cleaning" tool is too aggresive. You should use the Scotch Bird disc – it eats the rust buf not base metal
i just did this for my dads promastercity, its a 2017 model. quick question when you drove it when it was at idle was the car shaking? or was it smooth at idle?
Something cathartic in brake jobs, can watch them all day.
plug in your brake pads. i learn somthin new every time!
I’m waiting for a brake job video on a 2000 town car and a early 90’s Dodge Dakota. Or any videos on those vehicles
Here fo the knowledge, I do this everyday. Like seeing different way of doing this jobs.
I love big nasty's theme song.
When I switch my winter wheels with the summer wheels and my euro trash nuts are like these, how do I clean the white corrosion off the wheel studs? The owner manual says to not lube my nuts as they can come loose under operation. Any tips and jokes are appreciated!
More brake jobs the better lol
Have you ever considered using Disc Quiet between the pads and caliper? We don't have the corrosion problems like you do out here, but it does a great job of reducing disc squeal. It sets up over time, and I would think that it might do a better job of sealing the caliper/pad area off from the elements.
There are NEVER enough brake jobs!
(Plus I LOVE the time lapse road tests!)
