You're very welcome! For future reference, ALL (including this one) our repair videos are being moved over to our website: onlineautorepairvideos.com/
Just changed the discs and pads on the 3500 that I use for towing. Thank you for a well done, well presented video. Went as smooth as one could hope.
Nice work, and THANKS!!
The dollar tree pry bar is an awesome helper for prying off stubborn calipers and other brake stuff. For Real !!
This is the best video on TH-cam.Thanks men!
You're welcome!
Good video. I am finishing up the change of brake pads and a rear rotor on my 2005 Ram 3500.
Nice 👍
The rotors are always fun to change out on these rigs too.
Good work guys!
I was looking at them as we were doing the brakes, and I was saying to myself "Man those look fun"!
Like your style, Excellent demo on how to do it.
Thanks a lot man! Definitely made the job easy!!!
No problem, and THANKS!
Enjoyed your video 👍🏻👍🏻
Appreciate that Curtis!
Very well done. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Great video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Hey Tim did you ever find what was wrong with the dodge Durango with the misfire? I can't find any other video on that one, I was curious what it was. 😎
The customer is still driving it, but when the problem gets worse, that's when they will have us tear it down to see what is causing that.
How come you didn't get the rotors turned?
Great video
Thanks Daniel!!
Great video. I saw some comments on not fun changing the rotors ? Is that because they can be tough getting off ?
Not sure, but personally I don't think they would be, unless it's 4WD, maybe those are hard to do.
@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos I have an 07' Dodge Ram 2500 with a 5.9 Cummins diesel and 4WD - No difference really, I think people are referring to these clips that are on each stud holding the rotor flush. To those putting on aftermarket rims, these must be removed and discarded because the aftermarket rims usually won't have the grooves present that allow for the presence of these clips/lock washers like the factory rims do. Very important to remove and keep off if going with aftermarket rims. You really don't need to put them back on even if just changing rotors and pads and staying with the factory rims either but keeping a few from each rotor and putting them on after putting new rotors on will help to keep the rotor nice and flush while you put your new pads in and caliper back on. But really what I do is put an old washcloth around one of the lower studs and using a pair of vice grips with it set just enough to hold the rotor in (don't want to damage them studs) that just does fine to keep the rotor flush while installing your new pads and putting the caliper back on.
@@Ron-fw6bm Great info Ron!
Love you guys-- saved me $$ on your Tahoe fuel pump vid; now this. Thanks!
Wow, that's great! Glad we could help you out more than once.
Would there be any need to install any of that orange anti squeal grease on the back of the pads or on the piston ?
Thanks
That would be preference, but we never use it on the back of pads.
Used to be a time when it was needed to reduce noise. Today's pads all come with an anti-squeal/noise metal shim to eliminate noise so it really isn't needed at all.
@@Ron-fw6bm I remember those days, LOL!!!!
I notice some guys removing the caliper brackets? Is there any reason to remove the whole bracket when you can change the pads the way you just did them?
Thanks, great video.
Not that I know of
You really don't want to if you can avoid it. For these vehicles, the two caliper mount bolts are asked to be torqued to 250 ft. lbs. So does one really want to be trying to get these off and then having to torque them back on to 250 ft/ lbs? The only reason to have to take the mount off is if the threads are shot in one of the caliper bolt holes from crossthreading and/or if you're putting on new rotors. Ironically, the caliper bolts only ask for 26 ft. lbs. but a lot of guys don't know that, overtighten the caliper bolts and they break...ask me how I know...lol. Do NOT overtighten the caliper bolts. Do just like he says to in this vid. Tighten to stop, then a quarter turn. You're done.
By the way, for reference, if you do ever have to take the caliper mount off, the manual says if you don't have Loctite you need to get new caliper mount bolts. But then if you were going to the auto parts store for new mount bolts why wouldn't you just pick up Loctite and use the old bolts? But I guess the point is to let you know, those caliper mount bolts need to be on there but good. Loctite AND torque to 250 ft. pounds. No joke to me. I'm sure guys that deal with heavy farm machinery and semi-tractors might think 250 ft. lbs. ain't no thing but for a regular vehicle I think that's some serious torque.
@@Ron-fw6bm I think you're going to make a great addition to this channel!!
How many miles did you have on the pads/rotors? The rotors will last long enough for the second set of pads? You don't have to get them turned? How have they been holding up? This is way easier than also replacing the rotors.
You should never have to turn the rotors. If you do, there is something binding up on that wheel.
@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos Got it. Thanks!
Thank you , you explained everything very well . Thanks for the video.
No problem at all Darrell, and we appreciate the compliment!

That’s your second diesel truck that you have been working on sooner or later you going to upgrade yourself and you going to start making videos on how to work on diesel engine great jobs on those brakes
Hey Ziggy, this is a new customer, and he has a few diesels, at which you just might be right, but trust me, it will only be in an emergency!
Now that wasn't so bad, was it? You should work on more diesels as you're getting better. LOL. This job was off Tharrington Road around noon? Drove by and saw you and the truck on my way back from the gym. You should have stopped by the house, I need another hat. Yeah Buddy!
LOL, hey Rick, it sure was, and now we have to go back and do brakes on one of the trailers. Hey Rick, pursuant to our conversation of me needing a good helper, this is what we decided to do...
If you call our number tomorrow, you will get a message that we are no longer making appointments until June 25th. We are so backed up right now it's ridiculous, and all because I CAN'T FIND GOOD HELP!!!
Timmy doesn't like working on diesels. Do you want to tell us why. Or is it like turtlenecks some people love them some don't.
I guess the brakes aren't that bad, but I believe diesels are a whole different ball game when working on them, different kind of testers and some tools, so I'm not even going to try and pretend to know how to work on them. The three things we don't do is...
#1 Transmissions
#2 Body work
#3 DIESELS!!!!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, Im 2nd?
Well well well, look at that, LOL!!
