How many miles before brake job

[GRN69CHV]

Just had my '16 CC inspected, needed front brakes at 53,500. Rotors weren't scored but was getting little bit of pulsing, not much different to just replace the rotors compared to cutting them. Typically I do my own brakes, just didn't have the time so had the shop do it. Rears are down to about 3/32, at this point I'm just going to plan on replacing rear pads and rotors in the next few weeks. For a half ton truck my thoughts are brake replacement at 53,500 wasn't bad.

FWIW, I just went with a stock replacement premium ceramic brake pad.

I'm at 61k on my 2500 with factory brakes. They will need changed this summer.

At 60K on my ‘16 1500 Longhorn and will change brakes along with all fluids including tranny in the next 30-60 days since warranty is up.

I actually bought pads and rotors about 15K ago and pulled a front wheel, saw the amount of pad I had left and then decided to wait. Overall I’m really happy with how the brakes wear on my truck.

I got right around there on my truck. Now my 01 Ram goes through brakes every 8-10K miles

Approx 1 1/2 years and 12k miles on my 15 SLT 4X4 CC.Rotors went to **** here in the snowbelt after 2 winters.

Rotors were rusted, although not really what I would've called scrap. Had a '05 CHevy Avalanche, now that had major rust issues, rotors, backing plates on rear brakes, was horrible.

It depends on how you use your brakes.

I have a 2013 with 70k km and the brakes look brand new.

If you ride your brakes hard they won't last as long.

Plus what you drive 1500 vs a 8100# 2500, engine brake on some/most/all the time, stock or trying to slow down 37s, towing or not, even the local terrain and city/highway driving will make an impact.

The oranges to apples comparison really don't work too good.

I changed mine at about 50-60k just bc I ordered them and I bet I could have got to 100k easy

This "orange" is a 6.4 so no engine break, live in Michigan, plow snow with it and tow an enclosed landscape trailer and rather large boat. I'm damn happy with the factory brakes.

I did my brakes at 120,000 miles, pads still had 50% but rotors were warped.

All my driving is highway and I coast/downshift to pretty much every stop so I wasn't too surprised. Figure I warped them towing my camper through the badlands as I was on the brakes even with downshifts pretty much the whole way down.

 

[rampower2012]

I've got 65.500 on my truck an going to need pads and rotors and I thank I'm getting close for both did an tcas trany your opinion ?

 

[MRFREEZE57]

have 40 k miles, just did a tire rotation, pads have a lot of material left.

2015 1500 Crew Laramie. 104K Tires rotated a couple weeks ago. Guy said 6 / 7 mm on pads.

Based on RVGuy comment above, I'll ensure they check the rotors next tire rotation.

That's pretty good, don't think I've ever gotten close to that on any vehicle. Where I live (SE Penna, basically greater Philadelphia area), it's all stop and go driving, even on the highway you're lucky to drive 5 mile clip without having to hit the brakes.

I thought braking hard caused premature brake wear till I meet an engineer that runs brake dynos. He does more brake jobs in a month than a brake shop does all year. He stated the braking hard doesn't wear brakes down as fast you think, it comes down to contact time with the rotor. Braking lightly isn't good either as it polishes the pad and rotor surfaces that can reduce braking ability and higher brake temps.
I have yet to need to replace brakes at less than 80K miles, and that's for city driving in heavily loaded work vans.

front caliper seized at 30,000mi. Ate the rotor and smoked the pads. Had to replace; caliper x1, rotors x2, pads x4.

not covered by warranty.

Seized caliper should have been covered and if that took out the rotor and pads then it should covered as well.They're only on the hook for the side that seized though.You need to go after FCA.

The breaks never worked that well from day one.First stop of the day you weren't sure if it would.Brake pads are too hard with very little grab to them.They'll last forever because of the pad composition.They remind me of the lifetime warr. pads that GM started selling when I still worked there.They'd last a lifetime,they just didn't stop well.I went with drilled,slotted,coated rotors and ceramic pads all around for $260 Can to my door.They were awesome and were still like new 2 1/2 years later when I traded it.My 19 Classic seemed to have better brakes right out of the gate.

Which ones? Link please. Thanks
