16 2500 Brake Pads - Mopar?

[Larry Sciblo]

I have read a couple of posts suggesting to upgrade to the Premium Mopar Pads 05093267AA!! This is my first brake maintenance since I bought the truck with 30K now at 75K....Any tips? Suggestions?

Skip the Value Line and go premium. My previous 2014 RAM 3500 was still on original friction material when I traded it in at 362k miles.

On my 05 I used MOPAR pads. On the 18 I plan to use the EBC Extra Duty Pads

I had a caliper pin stick and chewed a pad up on the front driver side corner. The remaining pads were well over half thickness at 115k miles. I was in a pinch and had to have the truck the following day to haul loads of stone out of the penny dock so I threw on a set of Duralast pads from AutoZone.... needless to say I purchased another set of Mopars the following week. They were horrible compared to the OE pads. Considering the performance and longevity it's hard to go wrong with them.

The EBC's chewed up my friend's stock front rotors in no time. He returned to Mopar's. I've got about 1/3 life left in my rears and will go with Mopar premiums again. They're about $103 on the online sites. I'll try and get my local dealer to match the price. Good luck.

I have the EBC orange towing and SUV pads on my 2nd gen with 3rd gen front upgrade. INSANE braking!!!

I did just the fronts on my 15 with same, insane difference! Rears to be done this Summer!

Thank you all for sharing your experience. Sounds like Mopar Premium is what I will install. Happy 4th to all (a day late)
