Timbren BES Disc Brake Pad & Rotor Kit

2006–2018 Ram 1500 / 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic

Part #: BES-14FB022

Overview

The Timbren BES Disc Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is engineered specifically for the front brakes of Ram 1500 models from 2006 through 2018 and Ram 1500 Classic models from 2019 to 2024. Designed to meet the demands of heavy-duty towing and hauling, this kit addresses the most common brake failure issues caused by excessive heat and corrosion. Whether you’re hauling campers, heavy equipment, or navigating tough job site conditions, this kit ensures reliable, consistent braking performance under extreme stress.

Featuring advanced OnyxBond™ technology, the rotors provide superior heat resistance and corrosion protection, significantly extending the life of your braking components. This kit is an ideal upgrade for Ram owners seeking enhanced durability and safety without compromising factory fitment or ease of installation.

Key Features

The Timbren BES Disc Brake Pad & Rotor Kit combines innovative materials and precision engineering to deliver exceptional braking performance. Key features include:

• OnyxBond™ Coating: Proprietary matte black finish rated for temperatures up to 932°F, offering 67% higher heat tolerance than standard zinc coatings.
• Severe-Duty Rotors: Engineered to resist thermal stress, warping, and brake fade during heavy towing and hauling.
• Fly-Cut Balanced Rotors: Precision-machined to eliminate vibrations and pedal pulsation for smooth, confident stops.
• Corrosion Resistance: Protective coating guards against road salt, moisture, and debris to maintain cooling vane efficiency and rotor longevity.
• Direct Fit Replacement: Designed for straightforward installation with no modifications required, matching factory specifications.
• Compatible Brake Pads: Matched with high-performance brake pads engineered for severe-duty use and consistent stopping power.
• Wide Vehicle Compatibility: Fits multiple Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic models with various engine options including V6, Hemi V8, and EcoDiesel.

Construction & Design

The rotors in this kit are crafted from premium-grade cast iron, chosen for its excellent heat dissipation and durability under heavy loads. The OnyxBond™ coating is a proprietary finish that not only protects against corrosion but also withstands extreme thermal cycling without degrading. This advanced coating maintains rotor integrity and appearance even after repeated exposure to high braking temperatures.

Each rotor undergoes a fly-cut balancing process to ensure uniform weight distribution, which minimizes brake shudder and vibration during high-torque stops. The brake pads included are formulated to complement the rotors’ performance characteristics, providing consistent friction and fade resistance under severe-duty conditions.

Installation & Fitment

This kit is designed as a direct-fit replacement for the front brakes on the following vehicles:

• 2006–2010 Dodge Ram 1500 3.7L V6 and 5.7L Hemi
• 2007–2009 Dodge Durango 5.7L Hemi
• 2011–2018 Ram 1500 3.6L V6, 5.7L Hemi, and 3.0L EcoDiesel
• 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic 3.6L V6 and 5.7L Hemi
