I had a 2004, just traded it for a 2013 EB.
Can't remember exact miles but around 40-45 brakes were done by Ford dealer. No problems with dust.
Put Blistens shocks all way around about 6 months before trading ( dumb I know ). Anyway, could really tell a difference. Nice ride. I have replaced shocks on other vehicles before and really could not tell a difference. Not so with the Blistens.
I loved my truck too but it was a 4.6l and just not enough power for me to feel comfortable towing with it. I was going to keep it but I made the mistake of driving a new one. Expensive mistake!
