I get my OEM parts from www.mopar4less.com They are a Dodge dealer in Farmington, NM that sells parts for less than the counter price via the internet (actually a phone call). Just verify "internet price".

Gary, do you have to call them to check on parts for your truck?

Just tried punching in my year and 2001 is the earliest year they would let me go back to.

Yes, I call them. Remember they are in the mountain time zone. It is a good idea to have the VIN # handy. It is not always needed, but some parts require it.

When you are rebuilding the calipers, put shop air to the brake like hole. KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE PISTONS!!! I like to stick a rag in there to slow down their travel and not fly across the yard. Not that I've done that before... Scuff the inside caliper wall with fine sandpaper or gray Scotch Bright. Spray with brake clean and wipe with brake fluid. Install new boot and O-ring. I use a pipe clear style gun boar brush on the pins holes. Brake clean and apply white lithium or moly grease. That's it. Spray them with some good paint and they will look good for every. Good luck.

I can not find mopar break pads listed seperately on the mopar for less site. Do the caliper sets include new brake pads also? Is so it is great deal. Guess I will call them as discussed above to make sure I get what I need.

I never been overly impressed with Mopar pads. I would just slap on a set of Bendix, Raybestos, or whatever Napa has and call it the day. Of course, I liked the hawk pads i had.
