Why Bosch Severe Duty on an HD Ram Front Axle

• Made for heavy payloads and constant stop-and-go — Bosch's Severe Duty compound has a higher operating temperature range than the standard QuietCast line
• North American engineering and manufacturing — no offshore friction material of unknown composition
• OE-style multilayer shims — reduce squeal and vibration on HD calipers where noise transmission is worse than 1500-series
• Long service life — severe-duty compound resists heat fade and glazing that kills semi-metallic OE pads early
• Bosch OE heritage — Bosch supplies OE brake components to major automakers globally, including HD-truck platforms
• Right choice for fleet service — Bosch Severe Duty is one of the pads most commonly stocked by HD-truck fleet shops

Install Notes

• Torque HD Ram caliper bracket bolts per service spec — the HD front caliper is significantly larger than 1500-series
• Apply the included synthetic brake grease to slider pins and abutment clip contact points - not the pad face
• Bed severe-duty semi-metallic pads with more break-in cycles than ceramic: 12-15 medium stops from 40 to 10 mph, then 3-4 harder stops from 60 to 15 mph
• Replace both left and right pads at the same time
• Semi-metallic pads may produce slightly more brake dust than ceramic - normal for the compound
