CLOVER, S.C. -- Performance Friction has announced the release of its carbon metallic brake pad for the 2009-11 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 series truck.

According to Performance Friction, this new pad addresses the issue of premature wear as seen on the 2500 and 3500 series Dodge Ram. Carbon metallic is known for delivering more stopping power than any other brake pad and outperforms ceramic and semi-metallic pads in noise and vibration tests, the company says. Carbon metallic is quieter, stops quicker, lasts longer and meets all environmental standards, Performance Friction adds.

Below are the newly released part numbers:  

#1399.20 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 (2009-11) FRONT

#1400.20 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 (2009-11) REAR

The new Dodge Ram 2500/3500 series carbon metallic brake pads can be purchased at O’Reilly Auto Parts stores across the nation, or by calling Performance Friction direct at 1-800-521-8874.
