Seriously... Its entirely luck and takes zero skill. There are zero nuanced bets made and its annoying.
Every. Single. Shootout. has gone this way today.

Took an hour to get them out. Lower pins on both front brakes were siezed. Plan is to pack it with silicone grease and keep an eye on them with each oil change. I got new boots for them coming today.
2018 F150 100,000 miles 2.7 eco xlt 4WD.
Just want to know if I would be wasting my time putting them back in for future me or not.

I was thinking about how almost no consumer vehicles come in manual transmissions these days, at least in the US.
There is a reason base models dont sell anymore and thats because people WANT the leather seats, apple car play, heated seats, infotainment that takes up over half your dash, etc. And car companies, like Ford, have to cut corners in other areas to keep the price at least moderately reasonable.
But with all the issues these automatic transmissions come with, and the average peice of a new truck being $70k, I would almost rather have the simplicity of a stick shift.
Give me a v-8 f-150 with locking hubs, stick shift, high tension piston rings, metal oil pans, a solid oil pump chain, and whats basically a couch for a seat, and you can keep the radio, power seats and windows, powered door locks, lane assist, back up camera, and if I am feeling luxurious I will upgrade and get A/C. They could get these Trucks down to probably $20,000 brand new and still make a healthy profit.

Youtube Mechanic, The Car Care Nut, a former Toyota Technician who owns his own shop for Toyotas, compares counterfeit parts with genuine parts.
There have been a number of posts and comments talking about getting parts off of Ebay and Amazon.
This video should be a mandatory watch for any DIY mechanic and their Toyota. Unless you work with these parts every single day or used to be a Toyota technician, many of these differences would be very difficult to spot without a matching bonafide part.
The only authorized retailer of Toyota parts is the Toyota dealership.
