Overview
The Power Stop Z36-1400 rear brake pads are Z36 Truck and Tow disc brake pads for 2009–2018 Dodge Ram and Ram 2500 and 3500.
Heavier trucks and SUVs need more bite than original pads provide under load. This compound has a coefficient of friction 17 percent higher than OE pads, which suits owners who want more stopping power.
Key features
- Carbon and ceramic friction formula
- Thermal scorched finish
- Chamfered and slotted like the OE pads
- Powdercoated backing plate
- Noise insulating shims
- Hi-temp lubricant included
- Direct fit with the stock caliper, rear position
Rear brake service habits
Rear brakes on a heavy pickup do a large share of the work during towing and hill descents, so they deserve the same attention as the front. Pads wear faster under loaded use, and worn friction material can reduce braking balance. Regular inspection at each oil change or tire rotation catches thin pads before they damage the rotor surface.
When replacing rear pads, work through each wheel carefully and keep parts organized. Clean the caliper bracket and slide pins, check the piston and boot for leaks, and replace any hardware that looks worn. Rotors should be measured for thickness and runout, and resurfaced or replaced if they fall out of specification.
- Inspect rear pads at every brake service
- Clean and lubricate slide pins
- Measure rotor thickness and runout
