01'R/T

Discussion Starter · Dec 3, 2010

I'm planning on doing a brake upgrade on my 01 R/T and have a few questions. I've tried searching on here and couldn't find my answers, but it may be also that I'm very tired.. Anyways my questions:

1. Parts, r these all the parts I need or am I missing something?
a. 03-04 Spindles
b. 03-04 calipers w/ brackets
c. rotors, pads
d. 03-04 brake lines (plan on using goodridge SS lines)

2. Will any caliper from an 03-04 Dakota work? Like would a caliper from a 6 cyl 4x4 work on my 8 cyl 4x2? Same goes for Spindles

3. I've read on another site someone saying 03-04 Dakotas have a different master cylinder than say my 01. Is this true?

4. I looked and looked and couldn't find a write-up/ how to on installing this. Does anyone know where I can find one?

5. Thank you for the help!

I haven't done it myself, but started collecting parts.

yes you'll need spindles, from the same drivetrain that you have...if yours is a 2wd, you need spindles from a 2wd truck.

rotors are all the same

calipers are all the same

i think the master is even the same, but that's easy enough to verify, look up the part number for your truck and any 03/04 truck on rock auto and compare the part numbers.
