I’ve decided NOT to have my 2019 RAM 1500 Laramie Sport factory brake pads replaced under the TSB even though my dealer has ordered them. Here’s why:
My RAM was built 10/18 and its brakes do squeal occasionally under light (touching) application, but are smooth, QUIET and STRONG under hard use, do not fade AND produce practically no brake dust. My RAM has 4-Corner air suspension and corners GREAT at speed. It’s 8 speed transmission is smoothest under aggressive (roll on throttle) acceleration. I keep 89 octane fuel in the tank.
I used to have a Mustang set up for autocross racing and my new RAM 1500 Laramie Sport is the 5,500 pound version of it. It is too much fun to drive exactly how set up from the factory for me to mess with the brake pads, so I’ll continue to carry speed into the corners, brake late and HARD, roll onto throttle through the turn and ENJOY my big luxury autocross racer. The occasional brake squeal is just the RAM telling me to stop driving like my grandma.
