Bendix Fleet Metlok MKD965FM Semi-Metallic Front Brake Pads for Dodge Ram 1500 2008-2006, Ram 2500 2008-2003, Ram 3500 2008-2003, Ram 4000 2008-2005

So far so good! Minimal dust. Easy to install. Good braking. Much quieter than the previous set.

Great stuff these- have a 92 Ranger pulling full size duty. Last pads lost the anti rattle clip, and I couldn't take it- not wanting a repeat, went with the tried and true and honestly everything about the setup is better now.The pads did make more stink bedding in initially, could be from the conditioner strip in the middle of the new pads they put on- could be just new brakes- either way after 1000ish miles I have the best brakes that truck has ever had.The pads came with new anti-rattle clips as well as new caliper pins, as well as grease. Cant beat them!

Used on mail delivery. Held up well. Good value. Normal install. Lasted.

Ordered and installed for 2014 Ram Promaster 1500 front (regular not heavy duty).Perfect everything! Well...it could have come with (4) little zip ties to fasten the sensor wire...but I will still say perfect because I am so happy with the main components...and I have 100's of zip ties handy : )Perfect/correct pads with the integrated low pad sensor + wire (which fit perfectly in the original connector) on the inside pad (non piston side).Perfect abutment clips (the metal pieces on which the pads slide).Perfect (handy) grease packet to lube the abutment clips (and back of pads if you actually think it is necessary...with this pad set and the insulated shims it is definitely not necessary to lube the backs of the pads to keep from squeaking...but do as you see fit).If you have done enough brakes through the years like me...you know that sometimes the abutment clips are a little "off" from the originals and/or the pad ends that slide on the clips need to be ground smooth because they have a bump or imperfection that keeps them from physically fitting in place or from functioning properly. The pads I received were a perfect fit. No grinding or sanding needed.If you are competent enough to use a torque wrench, jack up your vehicle, place jack stands/employ emergency stops on your lift, and remove your wheels then you should be able to change your brake pads in about 15 minutes per side. You need a torque wrench to torque bolts/pins to manufacturers specifications.If you argue something similar to "I just crank it 'till it feels tight and have never had a problem in XX years" then you are NOT competent to install new pads (or ever work on a vehicle).If you want very detailed step by step instructions how I did it on my Promaster just ask. I keep instructions for myself so next time I change pads the setup and process are nice and quick!Pads on for about 3 weeks now and working great. I noticed that after a week or so it takes less pressure when applying the brakes now compared to when I first installed and "bedded" them.

I am an ASE certified master tech. I know parts and cars. I've used or sold or installed almost every brand and type of brake pad and these are close to the best that I have ever seen. I installed them on my personal vehicle; a Chevrolet Avalanche after having power stop z17 evolution ceramic pads installed all the way around. The difference in stopping friction was felt immediately and was a night and day difference. I still have the power stop pads installed on the rear but there's still a huge improvement in stopping ability. I plan on installing the Bendix pads on the rear once the power stop pads are worn. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because they make a ton of noise and the amount of dust build up just after a month of use is excessive. All of this is negligible because you have to keep in mind that these were designed to be fleet duty pads for police cars and government emergency vehicles. They aren't meant for luxury, they're meant to work and work well, and that's exactly what they do.

Fit good no problem

Really good pad, good bite cold, if you use them front and rear they offer very good balance. Fade free even when towing without trailer brakes. Not hard on rotors, no noise. Been using Bendix for 50 years - still a solid brand. 5 out of 5.

I've been using Bendix products for 30 years. Both as a mechanic and personal use. The pads that I just purchased which came highly rated are actually very poor quality and squeak and squeal at almost every stop. I tried contacting the company but they do not return calls even after you leave three or four messages.
