Front Brake Caliper with Bracket for Dodge Ram 1500 and Dakota

In this review the reviewer looks at the cciyu 18B5055 front brake caliper with bracket and whether it is a practical replacement for late 2000s and 2010s Dodge, Ram and Chrysler front caliper needs. The bottom line: this caliper is for DIY mechanics and fleet owners who need an OEM-fit style replacement that delivers consistent stopping power and straightforward installation. The reviewer found the caliper to match fitment claims, offer solid build quality, and provide reliable braking performance when installed on the proper left or right front application.

Key Features

• Exact vehicle fitment: Built to fit specific front left and front right positions for Dodge Ram 1500, Dakota, Durango and Chrysler Aspen models so buyers get a direct replacement without guesswork.
• Dual-piston design: Two 2.13 in pistons provide even pad force and help maintain stable braking performance across normal driving conditions.
• Phenolic pistons: Pistons made of phenolic material resist heat transfer and corrosion for longer service life in wet and salty environments.
• Standard port sizes: Bleeder and inlet ports use M10 x 1-6H threads so they accept OEM-style brake fittings and simplify bleeding and hose connection.
• Bracket included: The package includes the caliper with bracket so installation requires fewer additional parts and bolts directly to the vehicle mounting points.
• Quality control: Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications which supports consistent braking power and reduces the chance of early failure.

Who It's For

This caliper is best for owners of Dodge Ram 1500 (2009-2018 and 2019-2023 Classic), Dodge Dakota (2009-2011), Chrysler Aspen (2007-2009) and Dodge Durango (2007-2009) who need a front left or front right replacement that matches factory dimensions and mounting. It is well suited to DIY installers and independent shops that value a direct-fit caliper that comes with the bracket and standard ports.
