DFC HD Semi-Metallic Front Brake Pads

2000–2002 Dodge Durango 3.6L / 3.9L / 4.7L / 5.2L / 5.7L / 5.9L V6 & V8

Part #: 1214-0820-00

Overview

The DFC HD Semi-Metallic Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the demanding braking needs of Dodge Durango models from 2000 to 2002, covering a wide range of engines including 3.6L and 3.9L V6, as well as 4.7L, 5.2L, 5.7L Hemi, and 5.9L V8 variants. Designed to deliver reliable and consistent stopping power, these heavy-duty brake pads excel in extreme braking environments such as high-speed driving, heavy traffic, towing, steep gradients, and off-road conditions.

These pads provide strong, predictable friction regardless of temperature, speed, or axle load, ensuring safety and confidence behind the wheel. Their semi-metallic formulation balances durability and rotor friendliness, making them an excellent choice for drivers who demand performance without compromising component longevity.

Key Features

DFC HD Semi-Metallic Front Brake Pads combine advanced materials and thoughtful engineering to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty driving. Key features include:

• Optimized for extreme braking environments including high speed, heavy traffic, towing, and off-road use
• Consistent and predictable friction performance across a wide range of temperatures and speeds
• Engineered to withstand extremely high operating temperatures for enhanced durability and safety
• Rotor-friendly semi-metallic composition reduces wear and extends rotor life
• Low noise design for a quieter braking experience
• Low dust generation helps keep wheels cleaner and reduces maintenance effort
• Compatible with multiple Dodge Durango engine options from 2000 to 2002
• Meets necessary safety and environmental standards, including Prop 65 compliance

Construction & Design

Constructed with a semi-metallic friction material, these brake pads blend metallic fibers with organic compounds to provide a robust yet rotor-friendly braking surface. This composition is engineered to handle the intense heat generated during heavy braking without fading or compromising stopping power. The pads are precision-molded to ensure consistent contact with the rotor, promoting even wear and reliable performance over time.

The backing plates are designed for strength and stability, minimizing vibrations that can cause noise. Additionally, the formulation reduces brake dust, which not only keeps wheels cleaner but also contributes to a healthier braking system environment.

Performance & Sound

DFC HD Semi-Metallic Brake Pads deliver strong and stable braking performance under demanding conditions, maintaining consistent friction levels regardless of speed or load. Their low-noise design minimizes brake squeal and other unwanted sounds, enhancing overall driving comfort. The low dust output also means less residue buildup, which helps maintain optimal brake system performance and appearance.

Installation & Fitment

These brake pads are designed as direct replacements for the front brakes on 2000–2002 Dodge Durango models equipped with 3.6L, 3.9L, 4.7L, 5.2L, 5.7L Hemi, and 5.9L engines. Installation is straightforward and compatible with factory hardware and rotors, requiring no modifications. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fit and optimal braking performance.
