Brakes
Hi - i have a 2013, 3.6L ecoboost crew cab. I have to replace my pads and rotors and I am curious what products / brands others are using. Live in Vancouver BC so rain for 8-9months of the year and use the truck to commute daily. Thanks in advance.
Welcome
I live south of you a ways. So I get the rain thing. I had 1 caliper pin seizing up on me from water intrusion. I had to clean the caliper pin bore out to get the new pin to slide in it when I went through the brakes. I bought a little tub of the silicone brake grease for doing brake jobs. I had some moly based stuff I used before. I like the silicone based stuff for rubber compatibility.
I bought Raybestos for my 2012 F150. Just did all new rotors/pads. I rebuilt all the calipers, and all new caliper guide pins/rubber. I have been buying the coated rotors in recent years. Keeps rust down on the rotors. Rock Auto has a ton of choices on brake parts for the F150s.

I've got 30k miles so far on a set of NAPA pads/rotors. I've barked the tires before in emergency situations before the ABS kicks in. They're wearing well, no signs of pulsating, I've towed several times with them and never felt uncomfortable.

Used these in my expedition and getting them for the f150 if I still have it in dec.
