Torchbeam Rear Brake Caliper for 2000-2005 Ford Super Duty - Exact Fit

In this review the Torchbeam Rear Brake Caliper is judged for owners of 2000-2005 Ford Super Duty trucks and 2000-2005 Excursion models who need a dependable OE-style replacement. The bottom line: this caliper assembly replaces OE part 18B4752 and delivers a precise fit and restored braking feel without changes to the original mounting or brake line connections. For anyone looking to replace a worn rear left or rear right caliper, the most compelling reason to buy is the straightforward OE replacement design that includes the bracket and installation hardware for a faster, cleaner swap.

Key Features

• OE-style assembly: The caliper ships as a complete disc brake caliper assembly with bracket, which simplifies installation and matches the factory mounting points.
• Wide vehicle coverage: Designed to fit 2000-2004 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty models and 2000-2005 Excursion vehicles, reducing the need to hunt multiple part numbers.
• Dual-piston design: Two pistons and a 1.75 in piston OD provide consistent pad contact and dependable stopping force for the rear axle.
• Phenolic pistons: The phenolic piston material helps reduce corrosion and can improve longevity in brake fluid environments.
• Installation hardware included: The kit includes necessary mounting hardware to replace the caliper and bracket without sourcing extra parts, saving time during the repair.
• Brake line compatibility: Uses an exhaust port size of M10x1.0 and inlet size 0.38 for straightforward brake hose connection to OE lines.

Who It's For

This caliper is aimed at DIY mechanics and professional technicians working on Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks from model years 2000 through 2004 and Ford Excursion models through 2005 who need an OE-style replacement. It is particularly useful when one rear caliper is damaged, leaking, or seized and an exact-fit assembly will reduce troubleshooting and brake bleeding time.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of other Ford model years or non-Ford trucks, and vehicle owners seeking performance upgrades such as larger calipers or multi-piston performance units, since this part is intended as an OE replacement rather than a performance modification.
