Overview
The Baer Brakes D0369 is a front ceramic brake pad set for a broad range of 1988-2002 Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac trucks, vans and SUVs, along with 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500 models. It is sold as a set of four pads with a slotted face.
The pad uses a premium ceramic friction compound offering consistent wear, minimal noise and dust, and long pad life with low rotor wear. Because this set covers many model names, the fitment section below groups coverage by make and body style so you can match your truck quickly.
Key features
- Premium ceramic friction compound
- Slotted pad face
- Pad shims included
- Mechanical pad wear sensor included
- Attached wear indicator
- Mounting hardware included
- Consistent wear with minimal noise and dust
Abutment clips and shims
Pad shims and abutment clips both control how the pad sits in the bracket, which affects noise and smooth movement. Shims are fitted behind the pad backing, while abutment clips guide the pad ends. Clean the bracket surfaces before fitting them, and check that the hardware sits flush and moves freely.
A mechanical pad wear sensor is a thin metal tab that contacts the rotor and gives an audible squeal when the lining is low. Route it so it contacts the pad as intended, and avoid bending it during fitting. Replacing the sensor with the pads is practical when it shows damage or wear.
Older trucks often have brackets and slides that have corroded or seized, so check them at each pad change. Apply brake lubricant to the contact points, not the friction face, and inspect the rotors for heat marks and uneven thickness before reassembly.

Installation notes
Abutment clips are not included, so obtain clips for your installation separately. Pad shims are included and should be fitted as part of the set. The mechanical pad wear sensor should be positioned so it contacts the pad as intended. Replace pads on both wheels of an axle together so braking stays balanced.
What’s included
Four front pads with pad shims, a mechanical pad wear sensor and mounting hardware.
Not included: abutment clips and brake lubricant.
