I was trying to work Asshat in there but couldn't come up with anything for the ST that made sense.

Too hot to even think about golf, here.

As much as I hate to do this... truck I think is going to have to go to Ford for the brakes. I've noticed something for a while that I've kept an eye on and just read a new post about what I've been experiencing.

When I brake, at times the truck pulls to the right. Sounds like a possible seizing caliper. Just going to have it done later this month. I need to get a few more checks in. Looks like Motorcraft parts going on I'll just have the pads swapped out done the road for the Wagner's

Bad move. The caliper isn't seizing, as I explained earlier. Along with why going with why heavy OEM's are a good choice. Doesn't look like your listening to much, -so I give up.

Wait what? This is a new thing I never mentioned, relax. I want them to look at the front, my steering wheel pulls and turn to the right. The right pad had 2/3 less pad of the pad left than the left side when we rotated my tires. I was reading on here and looking at my service disk and it could be air in the system, caliper pin sticking, etc. I'm not taking a chance. I'm just going to have them do the fronts. If the dealer finds something, they can replace it. That's not a bad move

Exactly my issue... on top of the braking taking longer as of late.

Head over to the brake section and search, since you ignored my other post to you.. I solved the Ford half ton brake problems long ago, - many years lol. I've posted this over enough times to make it easy to find. Ford still uses cheap stuff, -when the good stuff is cheap.

Just looked at it again... I think I'm just gonna have Ford do it. That is so far over my head. I work two jobs that usually total 50-60 hours a week sometimes 70 depending on the week, 7 days a week and I'm full time in school. While I see you have a great set-up, that's not practical for me right now. However, down the road, that might make for a good upgrade.
