Re: "cold" brakes?

Anytime the truck is sitting for an extended period of time, especially
with moisture in the air, you'll find some small spots of rust on the
rotors. This is totally normal; bare, unprotected metal, exposed to
moisture and oxygen, will do this. The first couple stops take this
off.

Tomorrow morning, look at the front rotors before you start up, then
again when you get to work (or whatever your destination is).
