  • Adopt progressive braking habits, avoid heavy loads when possible, and use recommended OEM parts. Regular maintenance checks at our dealership help catch issues early.
  • Our technicians can recommend pad materials optimized for your driving style to extend service life and reduce heat-related rotor damage.
  • Use our service specials and convenient online booking to stay on schedule; schedule service to learn about tailored maintenance plans.

  • Our certified technicians measure rotor condition precisely and explain whether resurfacing or replacement delivers better value and longevity.
  • Warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid; ask our advisors about service financing and service specials.

How often should you replace your 2016 Ram 1500 rotors?

  • There is no fixed interval—monitoring wear and symptoms is key. Many drivers require rotor attention between 30,000 and 70,000 miles depending on use.
  • Routine inspections at our facility help you plan replacements at the optimal time to avoid costly damage to pads, calipers, or ABS components.
  • To set up an inspection, schedule service online and review available service specials with our team.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Resurfacing removes a thin layer to restore a smooth braking surface; replacement installs a new rotor. Resurfacing is cost-effective if thickness and structural integrity meet safety specs.
  • Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, warped beyond correction, or cracked. Our advisors will show measurements and explain immediate and long-term savings of each choice.
  • All warranty work must be performed at a certified dealership. Ask about financing options and service specials, or schedule service for a free inspection.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors on a 2016 Ram 1500 serve different roles: the front rotors handle the majority of braking force and heat, while rear rotors assist with stability and parking brake function. Because the front axle typically takes more load, front rotors often show wear earlier; heavy towing, frequent stop-and-go driving, or mountain descents in the Denver area accelerate that wear. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th in Denver, CO, our certified technicians evaluate both axles, measuring thickness, runout, and surface condition to recommend resurfacing or replacement based on safety and long-term value. We use OEM rotors designed for the 2016 Ram 1500’s 3.6L V6 powertrain to ensure fit and performance, and our process includes a full brake system inspection, torque-to-spec reassembly, and road-test verification. Choose dealership service to benefit from factory training, documented service history, and transparent pricing—plus ask about our service financing to repair now and pay later. To protect stopping performance and towing capabilities, schedule service or review current service specials before your next trip.
