Here's a more detailed overview:

Brake System:

The Ram 2500 features a four-wheel disc brake system with anti-lock braking (ABS).

Disc Brakes:

Disc brakes are known for their superior heat dissipation and consistent performance compared to drum brakes.

Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake:

This system is available on diesel models. It uses the engine's exhaust to provide negative torque, assisting in slowing the vehicle, particularly when towing or carrying heavy loads.

Benefits of Exhaust Brake:

The exhaust brake helps reduce wear and tear on the conventional brakes (pads and rotors) and minimizes brake fade, especially during extended braking, like when going downhill with a heavy load.

Brake Components:

The brake system includes various components like brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake hoses, and a parking brake mechanism.

Maintenance:

Regular inspection and maintenance of these components are crucial for optimal braking performance and safety.
