DBA43266S

Overview:

The DBA 4000 Series Front Slotted Rotor is engineered specifically for the Ram 1500 models from 2011 through 2024 equipped with the 5.7L V8 engine and 4WD drivetrain. Designed to deliver superior braking performance and enhanced durability, this rotor is ideal for truck owners seeking reliable stopping power under demanding conditions. Whether you’re towing, hauling, or navigating rugged terrain, the 4000 Series rotor offers consistent performance and improved heat dissipation to reduce brake fade.

Built by DBA, a trusted name in high-performance braking components, this rotor is a direct replacement for your factory front rotors, ensuring a perfect fit and easy installation. Its slotted design helps maintain a clean pad surface and improves wet-weather braking, making it a smart upgrade for daily drivers and enthusiasts alike.

Key Features:

The DBA 4000 Series Front Slotted Rotor incorporates advanced technology and precision engineering to enhance your Ram 1500’s braking system. Key features include:

• Slotted Rotor Surface: Precision-machined slots improve pad bite and help evacuate gases, dust, and water for consistent braking performance.
• High Carbon Alloy Construction: Made from DBA’s proprietary high carbon alloy to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) while increasing rotor lifespan.
• Internal Vane Design: Optimized venting channels enhance heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during heavy use.
• Direct Fit Replacement: Designed to match OEM specifications for bolt pattern, thickness, and diameter, ensuring hassle-free installation.
• Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Protective coating on the non-friction surfaces helps prevent rust and extends the rotor’s service life.
• Balanced for Smooth Operation: Precision balancing minimizes vibrations and contributes to a smoother braking experience.

Construction & Design:

The DBA 4000 Series rotors are crafted from a high carbon iron alloy that offers superior thermal conductivity and strength compared to standard cast iron rotors. This material choice reduces the likelihood of cracking and warping under extreme braking conditions. The rotors feature a slotted surface pattern designed to maintain optimal pad contact and improve debris removal, which is especially beneficial in off-road or heavy-duty applications.

Internally, the rotors utilize a vented vane design that maximizes airflow to cool the braking surface efficiently. This engineering detail helps maintain consistent braking performance even during prolonged use, such as towing or spirited driving. The corrosion-resistant coating applied to the rotor’s hat and edges protects against rust, preserving both appearance and structural integrity over time.

Installation & Fitment:

The DBA 4000 Series Front Slotted Rotor is a direct bolt-on replacement for 2011–2024 Ram 1500 trucks equipped with the 5.7L V8 and 4WD. No modifications are necessary, and the rotor fits perfectly with factory calipers and hardware. Installation can be completed using standard tools and basic mechanical knowledge, making it suitable for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously and to follow proper bedding procedures after installation. This ensures maximum rotor and pad life as well as consistent braking feel.
