Video Transcript for Review of Timbren Vehicle Brake Parts - Rear Wheels BES Brake Upgrade Kit - T44EV

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Timbren rear wheel BES brake upgrade kit. Now this kit has been designed to fit your 2019 to current Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500s with either the four or six piston calipers, and then your 2022 Silverado or Sierra 1500s LTD or limited with the four and six piston calipers. So all that to say, on custom fit parts such as this kit, I do recommend going through 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 kit will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now upgrading the suspension can improve the ride quality of your truck and it can help reduce that sag when you're hauling those heavy loads or those heavy trailers.

And it can also make your truck feel more stable while you're towing or hauling. However, it does not reduce the extra workload that's placed on your factory brakes. So if you've ever felt like your truck takes longer to stop when you're towing a big heavy trailer, or maybe your brakes are wearing out faster than you expected, or maybe that added weight is making your braking feel less confident, that's where this BES brake upgrade kit comes into play. This kit is designed to give your truck stronger, more consistent braking when it's carrying those heavier loads. And these low metallic OnyxBite brake pads are going to give you a strong initial bite and eliminate that brake fade that occurs with frequent stopping when towing.

So you're going to notice a more confident, consistent braking performance on every road trip. On the other side here, we have these multi-layered rubber shims and they're going to help stabilize the brake pads during braking, ultimately reducing vibration, keeping the brake noise to a minimum without sacrificing braking performance. On your screen, I have a few photos there for you. The first one is just an example of one of the shims from Timbren showing you in detail the construction of them. The second photo is a better detail of one of the brake pads with the shim pulled off.

Again, just giving you a better view of the construction of the brake pad itself. So these positive molded brake pads paired with these precision balance rotors are going to promote smooth, even braking and more consistent pedal feel. Speaking of these rotors, as you can see, these are vented rotors. They're OEM style rotors. They're going to help dissipate heat during repeated stops.

This is going to help reduce brake fade when towing. And these are premium G3000 raw iron rotors, and they feature Timbren's OnyxBond matte black coating on the hat, veins and outer edges. As you know, heat is the enemy of brakes so this Onyx Bond coating has a heat threshold of up to 932 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 67% better than the standard Geomet coatings most commonly used on OEM parts. So this coating's also going to help protect the rotors from rust caused by road spray, moisture, and winter driving. That's going to keep your brakes looking cleaner between services without actually affecting braking performance. The pads also have a bed end coating and that's indicated by these blue stripes that you see here. That's going to transfer to the rotor to protect it during those first stops. And so you're going to enjoy that consistent braking performance sooner after the installation. Installation's going to be relatively straightforward. You're going to get everything that you see here, the rotors, the pads, the hardware, the wear sensor wire and lubricant. But if you are looking for help with installation, maybe you're not too excited about doing the installation yourself, take a look at 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 overall, if you've already upgraded the suspension on your truck and you have that smoother, more controlled ride, this brake kit is going to compliment that upgrade by really addressing the other half of the equation, giving your truck the stopping power and the confidence that you're looking for to better handle the extra weight of towing or hauling. So together they're going to give you a more safe, more capable towing experience and setup. But I think that's going to wrap up our look today. Again, my name is Andy. Thanks for joining me.
