Video Transcript for Review of Timbren Vehicle Brake Parts - Front Wheels BES Brake Upgrade Kit - T45HV

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Timbren Front wheels BES Brake Upgrade Kit. Now, this kit has been designed to fit your 2013 to 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duties with a two-wheel drive with either the dual or single rear wheels. And on custom fit parts such as this kit, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer. Just pop in the year, make, and model of your vehicle, answer any other questions that it might have 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, as you know, upgrading your suspension is going to improve the ride quality of your truck, it's gonna help reduce sag when you're towing or hauling those heavy loads, and it's gonna make your truck feel more stable when you're towing or hauling.

But it does not reduce the extra workload that are placed on your OEM factory brakes. So if you've ever felt like your truck takes longer to stop with a trailer or a load, or maybe your brakes are wearing out faster than you expected, or that 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 heavier loads. These low-metallic onyx bike 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.

And these multi-layer rubber shims are 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, the first photo there shows you a closer detail of what one of these shims look like, I wanted to show you the multi-layered construction. Second photo there just shows you what that brake pad looks like without the shim. Again, a better detailed look of the construction of those items. 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 these rotors, and these rotors are very heavy, I needed help getting these on my table. So I'm gonna try to move one of these here carefully, just to give you an overview. So these are OEM-style vented rotors as you can see. So that's gonna help dissipate heat during repeated stops to help reduce brake fade when towing. These are premium G3000 raw iron rotors.

And they're gonna feature Timbren's OnyxBond matte black coating on the hat, veins, and outer edges. And as you probably well 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 most commonly used on OEM parts. The coating also helps protect them from rust caused by road spray, moisture, and winter driving, keeping your brakes looking cleaner between services without affecting braking performance. The pads also feature a bed-in coating right here that's indicated by the blue stripes on the pads. That's gonna transfer to the rotor to protect it during the first stop, so you're gonna be able to enjoy consistent braking performance sooner after installation. This includes everything that you see here on my table. And speaking of installation, if you think you need some help with the install, on this product page, under the photos 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 again, just keep in mind, these rotors are very heavy, so make sure you have enough support when you are swapping them out if you're doing the install yourself. I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. Again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
