Overview
The Baer Brakes D1400B is a rear Baer Claw ceramic brake pad set for 2009–2018 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks and the 2012 Ram 1500 Tradesman HD with 8-lug wheels. It is sold as a four-pad set for the rear axle.
The Claw pad is an OE-replacement choice for owners who drive their trucks every day. Its ceramic friction compound delivers consistent wear and performance with minimal noise and dust, while keeping rotor wear low. The pads break in quickly and easily and balance stopping power with everyday road manners.
Key features
- Premium ceramic friction compound for consistent wear and performance
- Minimal noise and dust during daily driving
- Long pad life with low rotor wear
- Slotted pad face with pad shims included
- Mechanical pad wear sensor and attached wear indicator
- Breaks in quickly and easily.
Signs the rear pads need replacing
Rear pads on a heavy-duty pickup carry a real share of the stopping load, especially when the truck is towing or braking from highway speed. Uneven wear often points to a sticking caliper slide pin or a corroded backing plate, so check those parts whenever the pads come off.
Ceramic compounds generally produce less dust than semi-metallic blends, which keeps wheels cleaner, but they still need periodic inspection. Look at the rotor surface for grooves, heat spots and thickness, because a worn rotor can shorten the life of new pads. This set includes a mechanical wear sensor that gives an audible warning once the pad is near its limit, so keep the sensor lead clear of moving parts.
- Squealing from the wear sensor once the pad is low
- Pulsing through the pedal under braking
- Longer stopping distances than before
- Dark or uneven dust on one rear wheel

Installation notes
Mounting hardware is included with this rear set, but brake lubricant is not, so keep a suitable lubricant on hand if your installation procedure calls for one. The pads come with shims and a mechanical wear sensor, so route the sensor lead as the pad design intends. Brake work is safety-critical, so have a qualified technician install and test the brakes.
