New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ABFS05709
This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ brake pads and rotors on your 2019-2023 Ram 1500. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2019 Ram 1500
2020 Ram 1500
2021 Ram 1500
2022 Ram 1500
2023 Ram 1500

What a great tutorial, no music, no goofy commentary, just high quality detailed video. Thank you!

[@gford1491]

Takes 20 minutes to change on youtube but all day at the shop

[@DeepSouthArtifacts]

I have the 2019 base model and it has a small screen. Can't find those options on the head unit or through the steering wheel. Do I need a computer to unlock them?

[@bdhays63]

how come you didn't clean and re grease the slide pins?

[@HookedonHD]

Awesome Job! I love the fact that you included a tool list as well as the torque specs!

[@EMORIVERA96]

What about the slide pins

[@mrwhitcomb63]

What do I have to do I have the 12 inch screen and it dose not have that option

[@joeythesaxman]

Forget slide pin service, the rest was good!

[@toantruong5095]

nice job thank you

[@mlotheregulator]

Thank you for the torque specs, for the lubricant information, and for the great instructional video. I had one question, when your compressing the caliper for re-install do I need to have the fluid reservoir cap, under the hood opened up or not? Thanks in advance @TRQ

[@jm8997]

The parts required list is awesome, thank you for adding that. Many channels show you the process but they never show you what specific tools you need. Great video and instructions. I feel confident replacing my brakes tomorrow after watching this video.

[@xe140]

Wow, this looks easier than i thought gonna give it a shot.

[@DanielITravel]

You guys are awesome 👌

[@SuperDoody1]

What if you're doing both wheels, do you have to do the computer stuff for each one or just once after changing both brakes?

[@scottsoriero9827]

Great, thoughtful video. One question: did you clean and relube the caliper slider pins as they are the cause of uneven, premature break pad failure and rotor warpage?

[@midwestdigitalcorpsales5017]

Excellent all around

[@masterhi4369]

Very nice video 💯👍🙏

[@franksims2195]

Do u have to bleed the brakes after he didn’t say

[@ibangarcia23]

How do you identify the body sales code for the rotor type ???

[@kjrwhs2003]

You do NOT need to add that bs screw back on. That's just for while it's on the assembly line. Caliper bracket and wheel will keep the rotor on just fine. And too many times that stupid screw strips right out anyways.

[@dodgelogical4076]

Why do I have a fluid leak after doing the job?

[@nicholasdodge2102]

The torque is 120-130 ft lbs on the caliper bracket bolts , not sure where you got 74 from.

[@patricksmith1692]

Anyone got any tips for if the cylinder won’t compress?

[@michaelclark8967]

My 2019 does NOT have the brakes option on the screen!!

[@ericnegron8331]

What if your radio has shit the bed for the 3rd time and your radio doesn’t work and you don’t want to spend another 750$ bc ram sucks. How do you get them to retract then.

[@hotrod9873]

Ok video. Very vague video..... didn't grease the slides ( extremely important on rams !!! ) didn't even talk about the little bolts which are prone to breaking off if over tourqued, when reinstalling ( snug ). Also in that video those where only FRONT brakes. Yikes

[@hotrod9873]

Overall I'd have to give this video a thumbs down, as you didn't show the important stuff ( rear wheel )??? Parking brake??? Oh my !!!
