Disc brake pads are the most frequently replaced component in your Peterbilt 384 braking system. The friction material your 384 calipers press against the rotor surface wears down with every stop, and the right pad formulation for your Peterbilt 384, your driving style, and American climate directly affects your stopping distance, rotor lifespan, brake noise, and dust output.
A Peterbilt 384 disc brake pad is a steel backing plate bonded to a friction material compound. When you press the brake pedal on your 384, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper pistons to squeeze the pads against the spinning rotor, converting kinetic energy into heat and slowing your Peterbilt 384. The friction material wears gradually and must be replaced when it reaches the minimum safe thickness, typically 3mm, to maintain full stopping performance on your 384.
Ceramic Brake Pads for the Peterbilt 384
Ceramic pads are the premium everyday choice for most Peterbilt 384 drivers. Formulated from a dense ceramic compound, 384 ceramic pads maintain consistent friction effectiveness across a wide temperature range, including cold starts on your Peterbilt 384 at sub-zero temperatures. They produce minimal dust, run quieter in stop-and-go city traffic on the 384, and are significantly gentler on Peterbilt 384 rotor surfaces than metallic alternatives.
Semi-Metallic Brake Pads for the Peterbilt 384
Semi-metallic pads excel under sustained heat loads on the Peterbilt 384. They are the preferred choice for 384 trucks and SUVs used for towing, and performance Peterbilt 384 vehicles where braking generates high sustained temperatures. Semi-metallic pads provide more aggressive stopping bite at high temperatures on your Peterbilt 384, at the cost of slightly more noise and dust in everyday driving.
Our brake pad selection for the Peterbilt 384 is curated specifically for American road and climate conditions. Every ceramic pad confirmed for the Peterbilt 384 in our catalogue is evaluated for cold-weather friction effectiveness on your 384, not just room-temperature lab specs. Brands including Akebono, EBC, and Raybestos are stocked as authorized retailer products for the Peterbilt 384, meaning full manufacturer warranty and zero grey-market risk on every 384 purchase.
How often should I replace my Peterbilt 384 disc brake pads?
Most Peterbilt 384 brake pads last between 40,000 and 70,000 kilometres, but this varies based on driving style and conditions. American city driving tends to wear 384 pads faster than highway driving. Inspect Peterbilt 384 pads at every oil change and replace when friction material reaches 3mm or less.
Should I replace front and rear brake pads on my Peterbilt 384 at the same time?
Not necessarily. Front brakes on the Peterbilt 384 handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and typically wear faster. Always replace pads as an axle pair on the 384, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain even braking force.
Are ceramic or semi-metallic pads better for my Peterbilt 384 in American winters?
Ceramic pads are the better everyday choice for most Peterbilt 384 drivers. For 384 drivers who tow regularly or drive performance Peterbilt 384 vehicles, semi-metallic pads deliver superior stopping bite and heat resistance under demanding conditions.
