1st Gen Dodge Cummins Rotor and Pad Install

- Replacing my old warped, standard rotors with new dimpled and slotted, zinc-coated rotors, and semi-metallic brake pads on my 1993 Dodge D250 Cummins pickup. These rotors have a lifetime guarantee not to warp, which is what attracted me, as I've had repeated warping issues with standard rotors. This may have been due to a faulty rear-wheel-anti-lock module. I just deleted that module and made a video of that as well: • Rear Wheel Anti-Lock D... .
I bought these rotors at brakeperformance.com/ . Tip - wait for a sale. They have significant sales fairly freuqently. I've seen them as much as 40% off. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post this. I found it very helpful with my D250
Glad I could help. I consult TH-cam all the time for my own projects and it is incredible. I started working on cars back when the only help we had was word of mouth (often bad advice) or a paper repair manual, which was often very confusing to follow. TH-cam has made it sooooo much easier.
Thx for new video. I couldn’t find 2wheel drive 1st gen dodge wheel bearing videos a years ago. Needed
You have no idea how much you have help me ...thank you and will love to see more videos of you pretty soon
Great video mr. Very meticulous. Well done.
Thanks for the video!
tell ya what i took my truck apart on a nice sunny day forgot completely how they went back together! now a day later theres 3 feet of snow on the ground! like you i plan on putting a camper in the back and towing my motorcycle so the upgrade is most likely in my future. wish i knew which pad went where pretty sure the long pad is opposite piston side and the short pad goes on the piston but not positive never had one of these apart can say ive done at least a hundred or more brake jobs and this caliper design is undoubtedly the worst design ive ever seen most calipers have the mounting bracket attached to the caliper. thanks much for the help

What was the point of using the C clamp on the brake caliper? Was that just for cleaning or checking the brake fluid level?
I appreciate your videos, I have a 12v D250 also and watched a few of your videos, like the brake bleeding and AB’s bypass videos.
I used the C-clamp to squeeze the brake piston back into its cylinder, to make room for the new pads. As the old pads wear down, that piston comes further and further out. When you put new pads in they're, of course, thicker than the worn ones, so you have to push that piston in to make room for them. Thanks for watching my videos! I appreciate it. And best of luck with your first gen.
Where did you buy the drilled and slotted rotors? I need those in my life!
@JD Dankins - I got them at brakeperformance.com/ . FYI their prices are all over the map, depending on when you happen to look. Their retail list price will give you a heart attack, but they have sales of 35% to 40% off frequently. The rotors I got are dimpled and slotted, although they also sell cross-drilled and slotted ones. Their lifetime guarantee against warping is what attracted me, as I've had warping issues with standard rotors repeatedly, which may have been due to a faulty rear-wheel-anti-lock module. I just deleted that module and made a video of the process: th-cam.com/video/n48Y9YkdR5s/w-d-xo.html
How have the drilled and slotted rotors been since the install?
They've been great. Zero problems. I took a trip of about 2,500 miles four months ago, towing a 10k lbs. 5th wheel and the braking has never been so good with this truck. Very smooth, zero surging or vibration. I wish I would have gone with these rotors a long time ago.
I have a 92 D250. My hubs are one piece. Does anyone know where I can get more info on why yours are different? My races are pretty chewed up. Curious to know if i can just throw a set 93 wheel hubs on with new rotors and call it a day.
@LTWolf99 is your truck a gasser or diesel? Mine is a diesel and as far as I know all the diesels came with heavier suspension than the gassers. My front axle is rated for 4,000 lbs. and the back is rated for 5,450 lbs. These are Dana Spicer axles. There should be a sticker in your driver's side door jamb that gives you the axle weight ratings of the front and rear. If yours is lighter that could be the reason for the one-piece hub assembly.
@@MTMiser She's a Cummins. Rated for 4000lbs in the front end. The exact manufacture date is 10/91. Its amazing that I found your vid to be honest. I stopped dailying the old girl about 2 years ago because of it, then took er off the road back in spring. Thanks you your vid there's some hope for er. I've tried my best to get info on the 4000lb front end of the first gens but haven't found much. Its odd because I found a lot of info on the 3300/3600lb one piece hubs yet nothing on the 4000lb one piece hubs other then the 80s D300/350s. (all 8lug hubs too)
@@LTWolf99 Are you on Facebook? If so, there is a group there called "1st Gen Cummins (89-93)" that could help you out. There are lots of very knowledgeable people there who have owned and have been working on their 1st Gens for a long time. Someone out there will undoubtedly be able to answer your questions about the hub. As for me, I assumed all hubs for the 4000 lbs. axles were the type I have (as shown in this video). Join that group and post your question with some photos of what you've got - I'm sure someone will have info for you.
Great video! Do you know the stud part number?
Thanks Carlos! The Dorman part number is 610286 - that's for the serrated stud, 1/2-inch diameter threads, for the front.
@@MTMiser awesome!!! Thx
@@MTMiser and the hub assembly ? I don't wanna be rude... I hope yo have it
@@MTMiser I have a 1986 D350 and wanna swap the big rotor disc to the smallest like the one showed on the video
@@charlymanjaful I don't have it and I can't seem to find it. There are some hub and rotor assemblies on ebay but I can't find the hub by itself. Strange.
Great video. I have a specific question that maybe you or someone can answer. Do these brake pads just "float" inside the caliper with no retention other than the caliper itself? Can't find any info on it so any help will be greatly appreciated!
See this video, which explains it better than I could. Try to ignore the robotic-sounding computerized voice: th-cam.com/video/TD2suonPFuA/w-d-xo.html
@@MTMiser thank you for the reply. I guess the answer to my question is that brake pads are free inside a sliding caliper by design. Any brake work I ever did had pads that would clip in.
