Frequently Asked Questions

11 common questions answered

What are the signs of bad brakes on a 2017 Ram 3500?Common signs include squealing, scraping or grinding, a pulsing or soft pedal, longer stopping distance, and a brake warning light.

A complete inspection at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Avondale helps connect the symptom to the component that needs service.

  • Squealing, scraping, or grinding during braking
  • A pulsing or soft brake pedal
  • A brake warning light or dark fluid
What's included in a 2017 Ram 3500 brake service?A brake service includes measuring pad material on all four corners, checking rotor thickness and runout, and inspecting the brake system.

The inspection covers calipers, hoses, hardware, and brake fluid condition. Brakes wear as a system, so checking these parts together helps identify related concerns before work is recommended. Drivers in Avondale can also review current service specials before booking.

  • Pad material measurement at all four corners
  • Rotor thickness and runout measurement
  • Inspection of calipers, hoses, hardware, and fluid
Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2017 Ram 3500?Pad and rotor replacement depends on rotor thickness and runout compared with the applicable minimum specification.

If the rotors measure within specification, replacing pads alone may be appropriate. If thickness or runout is outside specification, pads and rotors may need to be serviced together. Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Avondale measures the components before making a recommendation rather than automatically replacing both.

  • Rotor runout is checked
  • The recommendation is based on inspection results
Can I drive my 2017 Ram 3500 with worn brakes?Driving with worn brakes can reduce braking performance and should be followed by a prompt brake-system inspection.

Grinding, a soft or pulsing pedal, a warning light, or a noticeable change in stopping behavior are reasons to avoid delaying service. Brake pads, rotors, fluid, calipers, hoses, and hardware work together, so continued driving can allow a related problem to worsen. Schedule service through the Avondale dealership for an assessment.

2017 Ram 3500 Brake SpecificationsThe 2017 Ram 3500 uses a four-wheel braking system with front and rear brake components that should be assessed together. The service inspection measures remaining pad material on all four corners, then checks rotor thickness and runout. Calipers, hoses, hardware, and brake fluid condition are also reviewed.
