For certain this method only plays if you are throwing away the rotor.

Man it is. I was killing myself trying go get the fronts off until I discovered this. All credit to that guy on youtube. I think he has received a lot of cases of beer as thanks!

Update - just did the back pads and rotors at 39k miles. My pads were down to nothing - one was less than a mm away from metal. Actually couldn't find new hardware (spring and clips) anywhere so cleaned and reused what I had. Few notes: -Electronic parking brake retractor works like a...

This was my first ever truck so I leased it figuring easy give back at the end if I hated it. I did a "one pay lease" so wrote a check up front for all the lease payments to make it as cheap as possible. Turns out I love the truck and already have 40k miles on it with a 30k lease....so I'll be...

first truck ive ever had. Leased in case I didn't want it after a few years. Of course now at 2 years I have 35k miles on a 3 year /30k mile lease and I love the damn thing. My plan as of now is to write a check at the end for the buyout but curious if anyone has dealt with this with...

To close the loop from my end - I had really been worried about an error or parasitic draw somewhere and spending days at the dealer figuring out where the problem was.. However sure enough new battery has held perfectly for a week including in some -15 degree F temps. Cranking no problem...

Mine is a 2019 Limited - it was sitting for about 4 days in pretty cold temps but battery was dead as a doornail. Jumped it and ran fine but wouldn't keep charge. Wouldn't accept much from a trickle charger either - so just replaced it. That said - at only 2 years old and 35,000 miles...

yes rotors as well.

yeah.....no kidding! one came out easy. The other stripped very quickly and without even much force. Very cheap piece of hardware. I had to use the cutoff wheel as well to make a slot to turn with a flathead - still it was stuck. Then I took a 3/8 inch rachet extension, put it on the...

Its a '19 with 36,000 mi. Just did the fronts though. There was about 4mm of pad left but I was getting some ugly vibration under hard braking. Probably will hit the rears when I switch back to the all season tires in spring.

Just did it today and reused the original bolts although put a dab of threadlocker on them. All else very similar to the videos you can see for 4th gen rams- however the clips are different- but pretty easy to figure out. My biggest problem was getting the rotor off. Also our 5gens have a...

Anyone here do a DIY brake change on the 5thgen yet? I noticed that the service manual calls for replacing the bolts that fasten the caliper to the knuckle if they are removed. Have others followed this step? And do you think the average brake shop would take this step?

Just did my first at 5,000 miles and will do the rest at every 10 thereafter. Used Pennzoil Platinum. Man I echo all the thoughts here about placement of the oil filter. What a joke. Used Tekton 12” oil filter pliers to get it loose. Curious what others are using? Definitely lubed up the...

Same experience. Put a ton of wood pellets on plus a couple hundred pounds of rock salt. Truck leveled no problem but gave a warning that air suspension operation limited. Engine was running while loading. Only had to drive about 3 miles though.

New member, first post and first ever truck for me. Looking for recommendations for loading ramps. Mostly use for snowblower and lawn tractor. Thanks in advance!
