To answer a few questions. My truck has 47K miles on it. This would be the first brake work done to it. They have worked fine so far. I can wait until early spring to do the work. Only the fronts are being replaced. The rears have over 50% life left in them.
I don't know what the pads are made of. They are OEM from Ford. Don't know if Ford put severe or heavy duty type pads on the '14 Heavy Duty package or not.
The pads the Ford store was going to put on were definitely "standard" duty pads.
The reason I was thinking about flushing the brake fluid is make sure my brakes are as fit as they can be for next spring/summer trip to Utah, Idaho, Yellowstone and the Black Hills. I also consider since 1/2 of the 47K miles have been towing first a 5K GVWR and now a 6.5K GVWR trailer as severe usage, so I want my brakes to be very good.
I wish I were a competent enough mechanic to do the brakes myself. There is a lot of money to be saved there.
