So, based on that article snippet, I should be using something like the CRC Synthetic Brake & Caliper Grease? My local stores do not carry the MolySlip.Brake Lubricants: High Temperatures Require High Performance Products
When it comes to brake lubricants, grease is a dirty word. Brake lubricants are specially-formulated products that are NOT the same as ordinary chassis grease or even multi-purpose grease.

The CRC will be fine, we aren't going to the moon with these trucks. But MolySlip is available online pretty cheap and fast.

I used permatex for a while, it dried up to some kind of powder, but the pins didn't seize up between brake jobs.

Thank you for the link. I will certainly consider that for future use.

Seems like my local store might carry this caliper brake grease. The description said moly, PTFE and graphite and operating temperature is -30F to 600F.

Looks like it. I haven't bought it in a while, lasts a long time.

You may be over thinking it.
Antisieze is the wrong product.
Unless you are in a bind in the field and that is the only thing you have, it seems like a fairly bad idea.
Cleaning it off is going to be a huge undertaking. That stuff is messy.
Go to the local auto parts store and buy a container of high-temp brake caliper grease. These aren't exotics. Your typical high temp caliper grease will suit the 200 intended uses just fine.
Most chains around me carry Permatex products, so that is the easy button. I think I paid $10 for a container that has lasted years.

The rubber sleeves can be removed and cleaned or replaced to get rid of the anti-seize. 04479-60270 is a relatively cheap kit from toyota that includes those sleeves as well as new boots and piston seals that you won't need.
I've been using the permatex ceramic extreme for a few years on various cars including my 200 with great results.

Yes. Unless the next brake job is not far away.
But if you are like me and not do sliding pins when changing pads/rotors then you better clean it up before you forget.
I only do pins if I overhaul the calipers (i.e. change piston seals, piston or pin boots, paint, etc.). If you use the proper grease on the pins you do not have to touch that unless the caliper is not sliding properly or the boots were damaged. As others said many of these trucks and cars on the road have never had the piston re-greased unless there was a failure.
It's going to be messy and unless you manage to remove the boots w/o damaging them very hard to properly clean them inside. You will need a powerful degreaser. That antiseize is very sicky. If you do decide to remove the boots I highly recommend you get some spares before unless you can have the truck our of service until new ones come in. They are easy to damage.

I found my old thread and just I order this one from Amazon. Looks like the price is not that bad. I believed this is the whole kit...not just the rubber boots.

Alright, thank you for letting me. I forgot to look if it's genuine or not. Okay, so I cancelled that order and purchased it from here.
