I'm pretty sure it's moisture that causes it and only happens with the front
disks... At least that was my experience. Interesting thing is that since I
replaced the OEM pads I haven't had the problem since. I didn't get any hi-end
pads either.
I figure you must have replaced your pads by now, Bernd. Is your truck still
doing this?

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
