What was the purpose of replacing the rotors?Decided to do front rotors...these are my front brake pads after 60,000 miles! These things will go to 100,000 I think. Wow ..
could feel a little bit of pulsating now and then(warpage). Factory recommends tey be replaced anyway at or before 70K miles. Went with NAPA adaptive (their best) at $114 ea.What was the purpose of replacing the rotors?
every other vehicle I've owned in my 66 years, I would have been on my 3rd set by now.Just checked mine while, rotating the tires, @ 70k miles and I think mine might have a touch more pad than that. So I agree, they'll probably go 100k. 🤯
At 60K miles I want new rotors anyway...😀Did you try bedding the brakes to eliminate the pulsation? Many times, the rotor isn't warped, but imprinted with pad material that burned in on a sudden stop or very hot rotor.

You could be right, I might be thinking of a different vehicle I've had in the past. It doesn't matter to me. I could feel the rotors starting to act up here and there, so it's piece of mind for me. Since I save a ton doing my own work I don't mind.I have never seen that in any recommended service from Ram. Inspect brake linings yes, not replace rotors.
Pretty sure all the 5th gen`s.Is it just the etorque setups that are getting the long brake pad life or all 5th gen?
