Built for hard-working brakes, the Dynamic Friction Company Heavy Duty brake pads, part number 1214-0369-00, are designed to deliver a strong, predictable friction level at the front axle regardless of temperature, speed or axle load. They fit many vehicles, among them the 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500, 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500 and 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
This front disc brake pad set comes from DFC's Heavy Duty line, which is intended for vehicles that ask more of their brakes.
- Consistent friction: Designed to provide a strong, predictable friction level whatever the temperature, speed or axle load.
- High-heat capability: Engineered to withstand extremely high operating temperature ranges.
- Made for tough conditions: Intended for extreme braking environments, including high speed, heavy traffic, steep gradients, towing and off-roading.
- Semi-metallic compound: Low dust, low noise and rotor friendly.
When you press the pedal, the caliper clamps the pads against the rotor, and the friction converts motion into heat to slow the vehicle. Signs your pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances and visibly thin friction material. Replacing the pads on both sides of the front axle together is recommended for even, balanced braking. Inspect the rotors while the wheels are off.
