2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing brake pads and rotors together on a 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty is the best way to restore full braking performance and avoid uneven wear that shortens component life. Pads bed in to the specific surface finish of rotors; installing new pads on worn or thin rotors often leads to glazing, reduced stopping power, and vibration. At David McDavid Ford our technicians inspect both components and provide clear recommendations: when rotors are within specification we resurface or replace them to ensure a clean mating surface, and when rotors have heat cracks or are below minimum thickness we replace them with OEM-quality rotors. We use specialized equipment to measure runout and thickness, and our installation includes proper torque sequencing and brake system calibration as needed. Choosing dealership service delivers value beyond parts — factory-trained techs, correct procedures, and warranty protection reduce the chance of repeat visits. To plan this service and lock in current savings, schedule appointment and ask about our ongoing service specials.
