The factory really does there research on brake pads because they dont want a brand new truck coming back to the shop with 10k on it with squeaking brake pads. There for the really put some effort in the design i know that the Actual OEM pads are around $150, but in my history of dodges i have tried autozone and even mopars B-line and they didnt impress me. Spend them money and your will not have to worry about them for 50k to 75k mile again. It is one of those things where your pay for what you get this holds true here
