Brake pad advice please

[ocalapilot]

Hello again!

My truck is a 2004 3500 Dually rear wheel drive only, Cummins 5.9 turbo.

The factory OEM part number is as follows:

Front: 5093267AB

Rear: 5093257AA

The dealers are back ordered on these presumably forever. In fact, I think the rears are DISCONTINUED! WOW.

The ONLY place I have found these is from websites that have no contact phone and only estimate time for delivery.

Of course I find many alternatives on RockAuto but I really don’t know anything about them, other than that I do recognize a few of the brands by name.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks again for all the help.

Tony

With all the RAM trucks I have owned, I have tried just about all the brake pads you can think of.

The HD trucks rip through pads pretty quick if you actually use it for heavy loads and hauling. The Bosch pads are good, but really the Duralast Gold pads from AZ are the quickest way to go. Plus when they wear out down the road, just bring them back to AZ and they will give you another set for free.
