Did you free up the slide pins? Just did our 2012 Ram 3500, 7 out of 8 slide pins seized up. Used to have same problem on our superduty too, at least one a year seized. They all use the same design of pins and boots and all fail at the same rate, just garbage design for salt spray exposure.
Wish someone would make them with stainless pins and brass inserts. Have tried every type of lube, nothing helps except driving regularly and heating the callipers up to drive the water out. Best trick seems to be to overpack the rubber boot so no airspace once a year and clean up the seat area with a file where the lip sits so its more water tight. Give the boot a twist so the boot has an even layer where the lip sits against the steel.
If you take them apart once a year you can usually get the seized ones apart with a torch, pin the vice, heat the caliper bracket up nice and hot, twist gently and work it free. If its been a couple of years the pin will shear off even with the caliper bracket red hot.

But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
