Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) New HD Calipers and rotors

[hammersley]

Don't have my latest TDR on hand, but I remember seing an article about the high performance HD brakes - replacement calipers and rotors. Does anybody know what these cost? Comments on changing???

EGR

Check out EGR, they have a phone number here:

Another option: JC Whitney has drilled/slotted rotors for our Rams:

Ooops I see they have 'em for 2wd 2500 Rams only (lucky for me though). I am thinking of going with these rotors and quality severe service pads and synthetic brake fluid and maybe braided SS lines and save the epense of the entire EGR kit. The EGR kit has improved calipers though, but I have had great brake performance from my stockers so far (still on everything original at 72,000 miles).

I was thinking about the EGR system as well, but it is pricey. I'm still running the original brake pads on my truck and I'm just south of 79K miles.
