Frequently Asked Questions
How much do 2013 Ram 3500 rotors cost?
- Typical rotor replacement by axle varies by condition and parts; our dealership provides transparent estimates up front and often costs less than independent shops while delivering factory-trained technicians and OEM parts.
- Choosing dealer service can deliver immediate savings (faster diagnostics, correct parts) and long-term savings (longer part life, warranty protection). Repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
- We offer service financing so you can get repairs now and pay later. To get an exact quote, schedule service for diagnosis.
How long do 2013 Ram 3500 rotors last?
- Rotor life depends on driving style, load, and environment; many last 40,000–70,000 miles on heavy-duty trucks but towing, heavy loads, and stop-and-go driving shorten life.
- Regular inspections at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th extend rotor life through proper pad selection and resurfacing when appropriate.
- Use our service specials and preventative checks to lower long-term maintenance costs.
Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2013 Ram 3500?
- Not always. If pads are new and rotors are within spec, resurfacing may suffice; if pads are worn or rotors are warped or below thickness, we recommend replacing both for optimal performance.
- Our technicians will inspect pad wear, rotor thickness, and runout and provide a clear recommendation and estimate.
How do you make 2013 Ram 3500 brake pads last longer?
- Use correct pad compound for towing and payload, avoid heavy braking whenever possible, and maintain proper brake fluid and caliper function.
- Schedule regular inspections at our Denver service center and ask about OEM options to maximize pad and rotor life.
What are the signs of bad brake rotors?
- Vibration or pulsation through the pedal or wheel during braking, squealing or grinding noises, and visible scoring or cracking are common signs.
- Bring your 2013 Ram 3500 to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th for fast diagnostics and recommended repairs to restore safe braking.
How do you know when to replace brake rotors?
- If rotors are below manufacturer thickness specs, have excessive runout, deep scoring, or heat cracking, replacement is the safest option.
- We provide upfront estimates and clearly explain the immediate and long-term savings of correct repair choices; repairs under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership.
How often should you replace your 2013 Ram 3500 rotors?
- Inspection intervals depend on usage; for towing and heavy loads, check every oil change or at least annually. Light, personal-use trucks may go longer between replacements.
- We offer convenient online booking to schedule appointment and service financing options to make timely maintenance easier.
What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?
- Resurfacing removes minor imperfections and restores a flat braking surface when thickness and structural integrity remain within spec.
- Replacement is required if rotors are too thin, cracked, or warped beyond allowable limits. Our technicians will provide a transparent recommendation and estimate, and our use of OEM parts protects long-term brake performance.
2013 Ram 3500 Rotor Replacement Price
Brake rotor issues on a 2013 Ram 3500 range from minor scoring and glazing to full warping or cracking from heavy towing and frequent stops. Left unaddressed, a warped front rotor can cause steering vibration, uneven pad wear, and reduced stopping power, increasing stopping distance and risk. Rear rotor problems can lead to poor emergency braking balance and ABS activation. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th in Denver, we provide clear itemized estimates, OEM rotors and hardware, and a written explanation of labor and parts so you understand the immediate cost and long-term value. Using OEM components and certified technicians reduces the risk of premature failure and can lower ownership costs through extended part life and proper calibration. We also offer service financing to get repairs done now and pay over time, plus regular service specials to reduce out-of-pocket expense. Every repair covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage.
Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The front rotors on a 2013 Ram 3500 usually handle more braking load and heat, so they often wear more quickly than rear rotors, especially when towing or descending long grades. Front rotors dissipate the majority of kinetic energy during stops, so they experience higher temperatures and are more susceptible to warping. Rear rotors assist with stability and emergency braking, and problems there can produce pulling or reduced brake balance. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th in Denver, CO, our technicians inspect both axles and advise whether resurfacing or replacement best protects brake performance. We highlight any available discounts, loyalty programs, and service specials, and we make it simple to schedule service online. Call or visit our service center to get an honest assessment and a clear plan to restore safe braking.
2013 Ram 3500 Brake Rotors

Proper material, thickness, and fitment are crucial on a heavy-duty pickup with a 5.7L V8 and four-wheel drive. Our certified technicians at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th use factory procedures and diagnostic tools tuned to Ram specifications so resurfacing or replacement restores braking performance and extends component life.
