I found the best way to prevent the sticking caliper problem was to just do a complete system flush every couple years. It doesn't cost much and if you have a pressure bleeder you can do it yourself pretty easily.
Someone touched on Trans temps. That's why my truck has a gauge and a 6.0 cooler and a transgo shift kit installed. Ford undersized the cooler of these trucks until the 6.0 came out.

This. My dad has a 6.0. 180k miles with a Lance camper on the back. Excellent truck. Yes, you need to do the EGR delete.
