First Time Ram Owner

[573nny]

Just a short intro. After a life-time of Toyotas, the '19 Ram 1500 swayed me away from brand loyalty. Great ride, and a beautiful truck.

Unfortunately, after 2000 miles, the brakes are squealing so badly, and three trips to the dealer where they refuse to acknowledge the problem. A co-worker sent me to this forum on the issue.

Thanks!

A thread about squealing brakes

Sorry to heAR after switching from a brand you get something so annoying and seamingly simple as brake squeal. Hope you can get some info here and educate your dealer and get your truck fixed.

Welcome!

As for the brake squeal you could try this and see if it helps:

Breaking-in your rotors is essential after every installation of new pads or rotors, please follow the steps below

• STEP 1: Find a safe place to execute the break-in procedure for your vehicle.
• STEP 2: Perform 5 moderate or aggressive stops at 5MPH/10km to 40MPH/60km without allowing the brakes to cool down or coming to a complete stop.
• STEP 3: Perform 5 moderate stops at 5MPH/10km to 25MPH/40km and allow the rotors cool down after each application.

Always thought those speeds need to be reversed cause how to you aggressively brake and gain speed.

Lol, I think it's meant to be a speed range that you brake from. IE, anywhere between those speeds is ok.

I'll try both bedding methods once I get the rotors scrubbed. Up... and down again.

Can't end up worse than it is now!

Thanks and please report back whether it was effective, there are others with the same problem.
