Overview
Fire Red is the powder coat on Baer Brakes part 4141022FR, a front Extreme Plus brake kit that fits the Dodge and Ram 1500 truck lineup. The heart of the kit is a 1-piece Monoblock, 6-piston 6S caliper paired with a 15 inch rotor that is vented, two-piece and slotted.
The kit fits 2002–2010 Dodge Ram 1500, 2011–2018 Ram 1500 and 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic. The Classic Body carries the 19-24 note. It takes the D1247 pad type, and the grade is Performance.
Key features
- 1-piece Monoblock caliper with 6 pistons and a 6S designation
- CNC machined from 2618 aluminum forging, finished in powder coat
- Stainless pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals that guard against dust, weather and pressure
- 2-piece rotor, slotted, drilled and zinc plated, with a billet aluminum hat
Finish and corrosion care
The Fire Red powder coat protects the caliper body, but it still needs regular attention on a truck that sees road salt, mud and washing. Rinse the caliper with plain water and mild soap after muddy trips, then dry it. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh solvents, since they can dull or chip the finish and expose the aluminum underneath to moisture.
Rotor care works alongside the caliper finish. Zinc plating helps the rotor resist surface rust while it sits between uses, but light rust on the friction faces usually clears after a few firm stops. Keep the hub face clean and free of rust before mounting, because debris between the hub and rotor can cause runout. Check the caliper slides and boot seals during each pad change so the caliper keeps moving freely.
