"Lubed the brakes" ... tell me more.
Caliper pins, contact points where the pads ride in the caliper bracket, piston face and caliper fingers where they contact the back of the pads, and under the hardware where they sit in the caliper brackets.

It prevents dirt and rust build up so everything moves freely and helps prevent brake noise.

Only use silicone brake grease on the pins. Regular brake grease causes the rubber boots to swell and can cause the pins to hang up. Everything else can use standard brake grease.

My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Got mine back from the dealer.

Oil change, tire rotation, washer fluid. Free by using 10.5ish thousand fordpass points I got from purchasing the truck.

They also realigned my headlights and collision assist camera... as they did NOT do either when they installed my leveling kit.

Also noticed that something like 10.5k fordpass points got redeemed last month, oddly, because the truck hadn't been in for service since August. I brought this up when I dropped the truck off.

Service advisor told me it was for the trucks first service back in May. The service that was SUPPOSED to be on them when it finally got done because they completely dropped the ball on me the first time by servicing NOT my truck and saying they did -__- so.... my NEXT service is going to be on them.

My credo
Life is just a long string of stories.
Took my 2021 XLT 4x4 on a gentle off-road drive so I could try out the changes I made with FORScan.
Yesterday I activated the off-road gauges (pitch, tilt and steering angle), installed the drive mode rotary switch with terrain management button.
Unfortunately the road was so easy I could have done it in 2WD. Looks like I'll have to wait until the San Gabriel OHV area opens this weekend to do any real testing.

They aren't paint matched. Send them back!
Close enough. Hey, it took me a while to find blue ones. Black, red, and chrome are easy, blue not so much.
