Does anyone know who the manufacture is that makes the rear disc brake setup on the '01 & '02 2500 & 3500? I'm assuming that it's a brake company like Bendix, etc.

might be cheaper and easier to find an 02 disc brake rear.

Mechanos

Thanks... but that has nothing to do with my question. I have an '01.5 2500 that already has rear disc brakes. I just want to know who makes them.

Mechanos

After more poking around... I think they might be TRW. The calipers look like TRW RPS calipers and the backing plates also like TRW's. But, I'm still looking for confirmation.....

Doing my front's last night, the caliper bracket is stamped TRW...

Mechanos

Thanks... that helps. The front and rears are the same type of setup. The brackets and calipers are slightly different though. But, if the fronts are TRW then I'd lay money on the rears being TRW as well.

zukota

Yeah.

I did my rears last week but I wasn't looking. I do recall that the rear calipers had a chrysler stamp cast into them... Regardless it's a very similar, caliper, spring clips on the bracket and bracket mount - but obvisouly not identical.

How's it going?

I'm going to change rotors and pads all around on my 02 2500, most likely next weekend. Quick question...both front and rear have rotors that slide off and slide on, right?...meaning I don't have any bearing assemblies to take apart...is that correct? Appreciate any advice.

F\R SRW rotors slide off after removing the stud-clips - DRW rear rotors require hub removal and disassembly, as rotor is mounted to the back of the hub, similar to drum-brakes

That is correct. Very simple to do.

Hey Mechanos, I took pictures of the location of the adjuster for the e brake on rear disc brakes. There is a BR stamped on the back of the housing. Does that help???
