A lot of people say it's the pins that seize but that's never been the case for my 06. It's always been the pistons seizing - they'll work well for a while and then as soon as it sits for a couple of weeks, they stick. They do move a bit, but not much. Thought it might have been the flexible hose but apparently not

I drove my 2004 F250 SuperDuty, bought used all over Florida from 2011 to 2016 including very numerous immersions in salt water when launching a boat. I never had any problems. Then I moved to Washington State including driving the truck towing about 6500lbs over mountain passes with no issues. Then and after year 3 in Washington, the rear brake calipers siezed. I had them replaced by a local shop with lots of 6.0 experience. About a year later one siezed again and I had them replace them again. Now the passenger side rear is sticking once more. It looks like a brake kit from SSBC is a out $1500 for just the rears. I haven 't researched SSBC but if they are legit then maybe it will be about $3500 to bring the brakes up to snuff if I do the work myself. I'm starting to think a bout replacing the vehicle. I take lots of trips deep down forest roads and into the mountains. There is no cell coverage down these roads. I doubt Triple A is going to agree to drive in to get it if the brakes sieze in the backcountry so that tow would probably cost thousands. I thought I was done with the madness after I went through the bulletproofing of the 6.0 but now it looks like I"m into another Ford nightmare. Also, the hardware for the doors on my extended cab failed and I had to open them up and replace disintegrating plastic with aftermarket aluminum. All vehicles do suck

The biggest problem I have encountered on these, over and over, is crappy parts in the manufacture of remanufactured calipers. The piston boots ALLOW moisture into the bore, and rust up the the metal outside the pressure seal, under the boot. These also seem to warp from excessive heat build up. Have yet to see the pads getting rust locked before the caliper....

Solution? Of what I will attempt before buying a new caliper and we will test the process before installing it on the truck... Stay tuned people I think I might be onto something with social media in the quick fix being the last common denomination of videos that show how to fix or troubleshoot the scenarios and that can come from a to z be about cooking could be about stereos could be about tree-climbing could be about roofing could be about making your bed in the morning that's how my mind works I'm always looking for a quick fix to make something easier for the next human being.

Update for my comment below. The brand new calipers (Autozone) are sticking again. I do have new hoses for it but before installing them, I checked the behavior: pressed the brakes hard, calipers pretty tight, used screwdrivers to pry the caliper to retract, so it's not the hoses, and the fact that I can retract them with force means they're not stuck. I did that about twenty times to see if they'd free up, which they didn't really. I think what happens is that without constant use, they just get sticky. It seems to me that if I got liners put in the caliper bores, e.g. stainless, they might not stick as easily.
