Every Dak I know of does this. I've had two, a 90 and my current 96 both
did it. But like Bernd said it only tends to happen on the humid mornings.
That or after a good rain. All I can figure is the rotors or pads build up
a little layer of rust and you got to wear it off. The the problem is gone.

I had that problem since day-one. Only happens on humid or really cold
mornings. It's really minor so I just ignored it...warm up the brake for
about 20 feet and it's gone anyways. I had it by the dealer a few times and
they couldn't find out what was causing it.

Subject: DML: "cold" brakes?
When my truck is cold (first thing in the morning) when taking off, then
coming to a stop at a stop light, when I hit the brakes, the brakes seem to
"lock up", quite a jolt. It seems like all 4 wheels lock up. After this
has happened a few times and the brakes seem to be warmed up the problem is
not there anymore. Any ideas on what could cause this? ABS in back only.
Thanks in advance for any responses
Jay
