Overview
The Baer Brakes Track4 4301618MG is a Monster Green front disc brake system for 2WD Chevrolet and GMC C1500 trucks and SUVs from 1988 to 1998 and 1992 to 1999. The listed applications also include the 1995 to 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe, which is covered under the same part.
A fixed T4 caliper squeezes D0749 pads against a 13 inch vented rotor that is slotted, drilled and zinc plated. The billet aluminum hubs arrive assembled with premium bearings, Redline synthetic grease and billet dust caps, and every bracket, stainless braided hose and hardware item comes in the box. The 13 inch Track4 is designed for most 17 inch or larger wheels.
Key features

- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure, T compliant
- CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Billet aluminum hubs with billet dust caps
- Stainless braided hoses with DOT approval
- Zinc plated, slotted and drilled one-piece rotor
Care and maintenance
A powder coated caliper holds its finish well when it is rinsed after muddy or salty runs. Chips in the coating over the caliper body can let corrosion start underneath, so touch-up work is worth doing early. Keep touch-up paint away from the piston area and the sliding surfaces, and avoid aiming a high-pressure spray directly at the seals.
Pads are a wear item and are best checked at every tire rotation. Uneven wear between the inner and outer pads can point to a sticking slide pin or a seal problem. Inspect the braided hoses for chafing where they pass near suspension parts, and replace any rotor that is grooved or has worn below its minimum thickness.
- Inspect pads at every tire rotation
- Check hoses for chafing against suspension parts
- Keep caliper pistons and seals clean
- Touch up coating chips before corrosion spreads
