Video Transcript for Review of Timbren Vehicle Brake Parts - Front Wheels BES Brake Upgrade Kit - T23HV

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Timbren front wheel BES brake upgrade kit. Now this kit has been designed to fit your 2023 to current Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duties with two-wheel drive. And on custom-fit parts such as this kit, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer. Pop in the year, make, and model of your vehicle, answer any other questions that it has for you, and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.

Now, upgrading the suspension of your truck will improve ride quality. It's gonna help reduce that sag when you're hauling or towing heavy trailers. It's gonna make your truck feel more stable while you're towing or hauling. However, it will not reduce the extra workload that's being placed on your factory brakes. So if you've ever felt like your truck is taking longer to stop when you're towing your trailer, or maybe your brakes are wearing out faster than you expected, or maybe the added weight is making your braking feel less confident, that's where this BES brake upgrade kit is going to come into play.

This kit is designed to give your truck stronger, more consistent braking when it's carrying those heavier loads. These low-metallic OnyxBite brake pads are gonna give you a strong initial bite and eliminate brake fade that occurs with frequent stopping when towing. So you're gonna notice more confident, consistent braking performance on every road trip. On the other side here, we have these multi-layered rubber shims. They're gonna help stabilize the brake pads during braking, ultimately reducing vibration, keeping braking noise to a minimum without sacrificing braking performance.

On your screen there, I have a few photos there. The first photo shows you a closeup of that multi-layered construction of Timbren shims. And then the second photo is just a brake pad with that shim pulled off, showing you just a little more detail with the construction of the brake pad. So these positive-molded pads paired with these precision-balanced rotors are gonna promote smooth, even braking and more consistent pedal feel. Now speaking of the rotors, these are OEM-style vented rotors.

So they're gonna help dissipate heat during repeated stops to reduce brake fade when towing. And these are premium G3000 iron raw rotors, and they're gonna feature Timbren's OnyxBond matte black coating on the hat, vanes, and outer edges. As you know, heat is the enemy of brakes. So this OnyxBond coating has a heat threshold of 932 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 67% better than the standard Geomet coatings that are more commonly found on OEM parts. This coating is also gonna help protect them from rust caused by road spray, moisture, and winter driving. So it's gonna help keep your brakes looking cleaner between services, all without affecting braking performance. These rotors are a little bit on the heavier side, so that's why I'm trying to prop this up a little bit carefully here so it doesn't go rolling off the table here for me. By the way, these pads also feature a bed-in coating indicated by the blue stripes there on the pad. So that's gonna transfer to the rotor to protect it during the first few stops. So you're gonna be able to enjoy that consistent braking power right from the get-go. And this includes everything that you see here. You're gonna get the pads, the rotors, hardware, lubricant. Installation's gonna be straightforward, but if you want help with installation, on this product page underneath the photo section, we have a link that will take you to our installer locator. Click that link, answer the questions that it has for you, and that locator will find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to help you with the install. But if you've already upgraded the suspension on your truck, you're getting used to and feeling that nice, comfortable, controlled ride, this brake kit is going to be a great complement to that suspension upgrade by giving you that stopping power that you're looking for, for that extra weight of towing and hauling. Together, it's going to give you a more safer, more capable towing experience. But I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
