Not aware of any cross reference ........can see why you are looking what with pricing running from $107 to $140 per axle



Look on backside of disc plate for any identifying numbers...show them to parts guy at NAPA/Auto Zone etc and see if THEY can cross reference the pads

I had several work trailers(commercial) with Dexter Disc Brake axles.... I loved the way the axles braked and handled the load and the hills but hated to cost to do a brake job.. And I was in the HD BRAKE BUSINESS for Class 8 trucks... I never found a replacement pad to fit...



I personally think that the Dexter Disc Brake rotors and pads are not rated correctly... when you understand friction and that having a 2" or 3" diameter rotor, and moving the calipers out to that larger diameter, the ability to stop better, and last longer goes up dramatically....

First, call MORryde. If they are using a Kodiak design brake, then you can search the Kodiak site or use a Google search term like 'Replacement Kodiak Disc Brake Pads'. Kodiak calipers are a clone of the '80s/'90s GM mid and pickup size and use common, easily found pads from somewhere like Rock Auto, NAPA or Carquest.

Richard, please post what you find out.
I have the same set up as you including the Nev - r -lube bearings.
Mine is a 2014 with about 13k miles on them.
I've noticed the wheels will get dirty just like the truck/car will with the disc brakes. Not complaining, just an observation.
Curious how many miles you have and if you've any concern about the Nev-r-lube bearings? Thanks, Phil
