Frequently Asked Questions

11 common questions answered

What's included in a 2013 Ram 3500 brake service?A brake service includes four primary inspection areas: pad material, rotor thickness and runout, brake hardware, and fluid condition.

The Brake Specials inspection assesses the brake system as a whole rather than looking only at the pads. Technicians inspect all four corners, along with calipers and hoses, to identify wear that could affect braking performance. The findings help determine which service the truck actually needs.

  • Pad material measurement at all four corners
  • Rotor thickness and runout measurement
  • Inspection of calipers, hoses, hardware, and brake fluid
What are the signs of bad brakes on a 2013 Ram 3500?Five common warning signs are squealing, scraping or grinding, a pulsing or soft pedal, a brake warning light, and dark-looking fluid.

These symptoms can involve more than brake pads alone. Rotor wear, caliper concerns, hose condition, hardware, and fluid may also affect how the 2013 Ram 3500 feels and sounds during braking. A system inspection helps connect the symptom with the underlying component.

  • Squealing, scraping, or grinding during braking
  • Pulsation or a soft brake pedal
  • Brake warning light or dark-looking brake fluid
Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2013 Ram 3500?Pad-and-rotor replacement depends on whether the rotors meet their required thickness and runout specifications.

If the rotors are within specification, replacing the pads alone may be appropriate. If rotor measurements do not meet specification, replacing both components can provide the correct braking surface. The inspection measures rotor thickness and runout before a recommendation is made.

  • Measure rotor thickness
  • Check rotor runout
  • Match the recommendation to the measured condition
Why should the entire brake system on a 2013 Ram 3500 be checked together?Brake wear affects pads, rotors, fluid, calipers, hoses, and hardware as one connected system.

Replacing one worn part while overlooking another can shorten the service life of the new component. The inspection at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria checks the major brake-system areas together. That approach supports a recommendation based on the truck's actual condition.

  • Inspect pads and rotors together
  • Check calipers, hoses, and hardware
  • Evaluate brake fluid condition
When should I service the brakes on a 2013 Ram 3500?No maintenance interval is stated for the 2013 Ram 3500 brake service in this information.

Brake condition can be evaluated through symptoms and a physical inspection. Towing, hauling, driving conditions, and normal component wear can affect when an inspection is useful. A Brake Specials appointment checks measurable pad, rotor, hardware, caliper, hose, and fluid condition.

  • Respond to grinding, squealing, or scraping
  • Have pulsation or a soft pedal evaluated
  • Check the system when a brake warning light appears

  • Inspect related brake components and fluid
Can I drive my 2013 Ram 3500 with worn brakes?Grinding, a soft or pulsing pedal, a warning light, or other brake symptoms should be evaluated before continued driving.

Brake symptoms can indicate wear in the pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, hardware, or fluid. Because the brake system supports stopping a heavy-duty truck, an inspection is the appropriate next step when performance or sounds change. Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria can assess the system together.

2013 Ram 3500 Brake SpecificationsThe 2013 Ram 3500 uses a heavy-duty braking system matched to a truck with a maximum towing capacity ranging from 16,980 to 17,200 pounds across its configurations.
