Timbren BES Semi-Metallic Brake Pads

2019–2026 Ram 2500 / 3500 6.4L 392 & 6.7L Diesel

Part #: TIM-D2223SD

Overview

The Timbren BES Semi-Metallic Brake Pads are engineered specifically for heavy-duty Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with 6.4L 392 and 6.7L diesel engines from 2019 through 2026. Designed for truck owners who demand superior stopping power under maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) conditions, these brake pads deliver enhanced performance when hauling trailers, boats, or other heavy loads.

Unlike conventional ceramic pads that prioritize low dust over braking strength, Timbren’s OnyxBite™ semi-metallic compound provides a high-friction, low-metallic formula that ensures a firm, responsive brake pedal and a powerful initial bite. This aggressive stopping capability is critical for reducing stopping distances and maintaining control during heavy towing or payload situations.

Key Features

These brake pads incorporate advanced materials and design elements to meet the demands of severe-duty applications. Key features include:

• OnyxBite™ high-friction, low-metallic compound for superior stopping power
• Thermally stable formulation resists glazing under extreme heat
• Multi-layer rubber shims and precision chamfers reduce vibration and brake squeal
• Fully compliant with 2025 copper-free environmental standards
• Includes a complete stainless steel hardware kit for professional, noise-free installation
• Designed specifically for 2019–2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 models with 6.4L and 6.7L engines
• Backed by a 42-month or 42,000-mile warranty for long-term reliability

Construction & Design

The Timbren BES brake pads feature a semi-metallic friction material that balances durability and performance. The OnyxBite™ compound combines high-friction particles with low-metallic content to provide consistent braking force while minimizing wear and heat buildup. This formulation enhances thermal stability, preventing the common issue of pad glazing that reduces effectiveness during heavy use.

Each pad is equipped with multi-layer rubber shims and precision chamfers that absorb harmonic vibrations and prevent the annoying squeals often associated with heavy-duty brake pads. The stainless steel hardware kit included ensures secure mounting and helps maintain optimal pad alignment throughout the life of the product.

Performance & Sound

These pads deliver a firm, confident pedal feel with a strong initial bite, essential for safely stopping large trucks under load. The advanced friction material maintains consistent performance even under high temperatures generated by towing or hauling. Additionally, the integrated shims and chamfers significantly reduce brake noise, providing a quieter and more comfortable driving experience without sacrificing braking power.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and designed to fit the front brake assemblies of 2019–2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with 6.4L 392 or 6.7L diesel engines. The included stainless steel hardware kit ensures a secure, professional fitment without the need for modifications. These pads are a direct replacement for factory components, making them an ideal upgrade for owners seeking enhanced braking performance.
