2001 Dodge Ram 2500. Removed left rear brake caliper due to a sqweak that could be heard at low speed. One brake pad had completely separated from the metal backing. When inspecting other 3 brakes, at least one pad in each caliper shows signs of beginning to separate. Pads have a minimum of 1/2" of material left. Vehical mileage is 41966. All pads were replaced. The old ones are available.
