Brake Care Tips for Your Ram 2500
- Heavy towing significantly stresses HD brakes — inspect after every heavy-tow trip.
- Diesel exhaust brake (Cummins) reduces friction brake wear on downhill descents — use it for extended descents.
- Inspect pads every 7,500-10,000 miles.
- Brake fluid flush every 3 years (more often for severe-duty use).
- Listen for grinding or pulsation under braking.
What's Included in Every Brakes at Mahon CDJR
Every brake service at Mahon CDJR includes a free brake inspection by Mopar-certified technicians. We measure pad thickness, check rotor surface and thickness, inspect calipers and hoses, and test the parking brake. When service is needed we use OEM-spec Mopar pads and rotors matched to your Ram 2500 trim.
Note on Pricing: Brake service pricing depends on whether you need pads, rotors, calipers, or fluid service — and on the specific Ram 2500 trim. Brembo-equipped trims command premium pricing. Call (828) 492-2121 for a free brake inspection and estimate.
