TOWING


I do some serious towing, always heavily loaded.  My stock rotors and pads just couldn't keep up.  Installing A.R.T. rotors and pads was the best thing I've ever done to any vehicle I've ever owned.  Stopping power is phenomenal!

 They haul down my rig at highway speeds in no time, always stopping with confidence.  And when you are towing $250,000 worth of equipment, confidence is key.
 
Thanks A.R.T.

RACING

I have owned two Dodge Diesel trucks for a total of 9 years and have loved everything about them except the brakes. My ’97 was used for towing and daily driving, and the brakes never worked well, no matter what company did them. I was replacing the rotors from heat damage more than once a year! My ’98 is now my daily driver as well as my drag-race truck. I use it in all conditions: on the drag strip where it runs 11.6’s at 117+ mph, in dyno competition putting out 700+ rwhp and 1200+tq, over mountain passes, towing, city and highway driving for a total of about 25K miles per year. I was in desperate need of a brake upgrade!

       I heard about A.R.T. through the Turbo Diesel Register, my best resource for what really works on these trucks. I spoke with Pad and ordered what I needed. We installed the new slotted rotors and pads over two years ago, and I’ve never looked back. Never have they overheated (try stopping a 6500lb truck going 118mph at the end of a drag strip!), faded, or any of the other issues I’d experienced before. Even the pads lasted well over a year, and believe me I’m not nice to them even on the street!

       I can honestly recommend A.R.T.’s products to any truck owner, for any purpose. They make a superior product and I personally believe there isn’t a better braking system for our trucks on the market.

  • Towing my trailer I would warp my stock rotors & wear out my brake pads in 20K miles.  After installing A.R.T's rotors & pads I noticed an increase in stopping power and now have 50K miles on them and the pad & rotor are still like new.

  • I tried several brands of performance rotors & they all warped and cracked in just one race.  A.R.T's rotors lasted a full season, UNBELIEVABLE!

When racing the Baja 500, product durability is our number one concern.  A.R.T.'s rotors worked so good we're going to get some for our tow rig!
