Did Ford sell me a lesser quality brake pad

[6500rpm]

Stopped by the dealer we use at work and gave them my vin and let them know I wanted the EXACT pad that was on my 13 PP SHO.

Picked them up without looking and when I looked at the receipt it was
P/n FU2Z-2V001-H (Motorcraft). Everything I see on the forum shows they should have been Ford p/n DG1Z-2001-F.

Are these different pads? I want what it came with because I simply loved everything about the original set, from the way they bite to the complete lack of noise. I just need to confirm if these are different p/n's for the same thing or are they different friction material pads.

Thanks for any input

I'm also looking for the same answer. This is the listing from www.fordpartsgiant.com and I haven't been able to make a decision.

There are three pad offerings for the P.P. sho on my 2016. The factory oem option, a factory equivalent, and then a heavy duty spec is how I looked at it.

I had the factory equivalent on my sho for a bit and didn't like them they also didn't have the springs on them to pull them away from the pads like the factory pads. I eventually warped a rotor (most likely due to me not properly cleaning the caliper anchor) and put the factory pads back on.

So in a nut shell, they really didn't give you the wrong pads, they will work. They just are not the factory pads.... clear as mud? Because I couldn't figure out why there was three offerings.

You want the pads that call out they are for use under warranty if I recall corectly.correctly.

I fired up the 'puter. Yes you want the DG1Z-2001-F pads.

And I lied. There are four pad options by vin for a p.p. sho. Warranty eligible (the F level part), OE design - non warranty repair (no spring), standard duty (dont know about spring) and severe duty pads (blue and have a spring).

The not for warranty on the Motorcraft part was a bit of a red flag for me. The factory pads are still on my 13 with 90k miles on the car. They still have a good innitial bite, no noise, and haven't warped the rotor (zero pulsation). Pretty damn happy about all the above so I'm going to call on Monday and see if I can get the OEM pads. The severe duty has me intrigued, but I'm guessing that was more of a interceptor part.

I recall that there is a website you can look up brake pad part numbers (the number etched onnthe pad) to get an idea of how the pad performs. I forget the website. I read about it in one of my car magazines I get.

Ford Service Parts carry 3 lines of brake pads. The standard, which you received, OEM, and Severe Duty. If you want the OEM, you should get the DG1Z-2001-F.

Spoke with the parts man that handles our account at work this time, exchanged for the OEM set at no additional cost which floored me. Should gave just spoke with him in the first place,

The Motorcraft replacement pads meet the Ford specs, but don't get the same level of testing as the OEM pads. The compound is usually not as vehicle-specific either.
