The Story
DFC Ultimate Duty Front Brake Pads
Dynamite Friction DFC Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pads, part number 1400-2223-00, are a front disc brake pad set built for Ram heavy-duty truck applications. This 4-pad set uses a hybrid friction material and an integrally molded attachment for consistent pad construction across the service interval.
The DFC Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pads line focuses on demanding truck braking needs, with pad dimensions and sensor preparation that align with late-model Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and Ram 4000 front brake service. Part number 1400-2223-00 is prepared for a mechanical pad wear sensor, while the sensor itself is not included.
Key Features
- Front disc brake pad set for Ram heavy-duty applications
- Hybrid friction material composition for balanced braking performance
- Integrally molded friction material attachment
- 4 pads included per set
- Prepared for a mechanical pad wear sensor
- Pad wear sensor not included
- Mounting hardware not included
- Outer and inner pad height: 69.6 mm (2.74 in)
- Outer and inner pad width: 212 mm (8.346 in)
- Outer and inner pad thickness: 12.6 mm (0.496 in)
Fitment
- Fits 2019-2025 Ram 2500, front.
- Fits 2019-2025 Ram 3500, front.
- Fits 2019-2024 Ram 4000, front.
- Fits 2025 Ram 4000, front. Req HW: 340-54068.
Detailed Description
These Dynamite Friction brake pads are built for front axle service on Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and Ram 4000 trucks across the listed model years. The hybrid friction formulation and molded pad construction support consistent contact characteristics, while the prepared-for-sensor design works with applications that use a mechanical wear indicator setup. If you are replacing front brake pads on a 2019-2025 Ram 2500 or Ram 3500, or on a 2019-2024 Ram 4000, part number 1400-2223-00 matches the listed fitment and dimensions.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Reasons for Replacement
- Worn front brake pads causing reduced stopping performance
- Brake noise from pad wear or uneven friction material condition
- Brake pedal feel changes related to pad thickness loss
- Service needed on a front brake system with a mechanical wear sensor setup
- Replacement for a front pad set on Ram 2500, Ram 3500, or Ram 4000 trucks
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad fitment before installation. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse only serviceable hardware or source the correct hardware separately when required. For 2025 Ram 4000 applications, verify required hardware 340-54068 before completing the brake service. Always follow the vehicle service manual for bedding, torque specifications, and brake system inspection.
Quality Assurance
Dynamite Friction DFC Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pads are specified with exact pad dimensions, sensor preparation, and vehicle fitment details to support accurate parts selection for Ram front brake service. Part number 1400-2223-00 is listed for the applications shown above.
