Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2023 Ford F-450 Super Duty?Pad and rotor replacement depends on measured rotor thickness, runout, and the applicable minimum specification.

Is it worth getting brakes done at the dealer versus an independent brake shop in Fort Worth?A dealer brake inspection evaluates pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, hardware, and fluid together rather than focusing on pads alone.
