Quiet, confident stops for your heavy-duty Ram — the Wagner ThermoQuiet MX859 Front Disc Brake Pad Set drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 3500 (All engines). This semi-metallic front-axle set uses Wagner's in-house friction formulation, engineered for quiet operation with strong braking performance.
- ThermoQuiet IMI™ insulator: an Integrally Molded Insulator paired with the semi-metallic friction material is designed for quieter operation.
- Heat management: the advanced friction formulation helps dissipate heat during hard braking for high performance.
- Zero-copper formula: features Wagner's OE25™ zero-copper friction formulation.
- Shims & wear sensor included: ships with pad shims and a mechanical pad wear sensor; abutment clips are not included.
The pads are slotted with chamfered edges. This listing is a front-axle set; for even, balanced braking, it's best to replace the pads on the same axle together as a matched set and inspect the rotors. Country of origin: United States.
