Timbren BES Semi-Metallic Brake Pads

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

Part #: TIM-D2224SD

Overview

The Timbren BES Semi-Metallic Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the demanding needs of Ram 3500 owners who regularly haul heavy loads or tow trailers. Designed for the 2019 through 2026 Ram 3500 models equipped with either the 6.4L 392 gasoline engine or the 6.7L diesel engine, these rear brake pads deliver enhanced stopping power and durability under severe-duty conditions. Unlike conventional ceramic pads that focus on low dust and quiet operation, the BES OnyxBite™ formula prioritizes maximum friction and thermal stability to provide confident braking performance when it matters most.

These brake pads are ideal for truck owners who push their vehicles to the limits, especially when operating near or at maximum gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). With a focus on safety and reliability, Timbren’s BES pads help reduce stopping distances and maintain consistent pedal feel even under heavy loads.

Key Features

Built to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty truck applications, the Timbren BES Semi-Metallic Brake Pads offer the following key benefits:

• OnyxBite™ Semi-Metallic Compound: High-friction, low-metallic formula designed for superior stopping power and thermal resistance.
• Thermal Stability: Resists glazing and fade during prolonged or intense braking, ensuring consistent performance.
• Multi-Layer Rubber Shims: Reduce harmonic vibrations to minimize brake squeal and noise.
• Precision Chamfers: Enhance pad bedding and reduce harsh engagement for smoother braking.
• 2025 Copper-Free Compliance: Environmentally responsible formulation meeting upcoming copper restrictions.
• Heavy-Duty Hardware Kit Included: Stainless steel components for secure, noise-free installation.
• Durability: Designed to withstand the high torque and stress associated with towing and hauling.
• Warranty: Backed by Timbren’s 42-month or 42,000-mile limited warranty for peace of mind.

Construction & Design

The Timbren BES brake pads utilize a semi-metallic friction material that balances aggressive bite with long-lasting durability. This compound incorporates a blend of high-quality metallic particles to improve heat dissipation and friction consistency, while maintaining a low dust profile relative to traditional metallic pads. The multi-layer rubber shims and chamfered edges are precision-engineered to reduce noise and vibration, enhancing driver comfort without sacrificing performance.

Each pad is manufactured to exacting standards to ensure a perfect fit and reliable operation within the Ram 3500’s rear braking system. The included stainless steel hardware kit further supports a secure installation and helps prevent corrosion over time.

Performance & Sound

The OnyxBite™ compound delivers a firm, responsive brake pedal feel with a noticeably stronger initial bite compared to standard ceramic pads. This aggressive friction characteristic is critical for safely controlling heavy loads and reducing stopping distances when towing trailers, boats, or other equipment. Despite the high-performance nature of these pads, the integrated shims and chamfers effectively suppress common brake noise and squeal often associated with severe-duty friction materials, providing a quieter driving experience.

Installation & Fitment

These brake pads are designed as a direct replacement for the rear brakes on 2019–2026 Ram 3500 trucks equipped with 6.4L 392 gasoline or 6.7L diesel engines. Installation requires no modifications and can be completed using standard brake service procedures. The included stainless steel hardware kit ensures all components fit securely and operate smoothly, reducing installation time and potential noise issues.
