Drew did you do the brakes or have them done? If you did them did you turn the rotors? If so did you bed the brakes in as recomended?

Tire kingdom did them when I got my new tires. They say they will see what they can do but I have just been informed that I am 2 months past the warranty.... This is ridiculous

I would raise hell with them [tactfully] and threaten to post this on your car/truck forums and loge a complant with the Better Busness website. This is why i do my own work you can't trust many folks anymore.

Well the passenger rotor is shot and the pads are gone. They have agreed to pay for the new heavier duty pads even tho I am out of warranty but I am SOL on the rotor. At this point I need to be back on the road. I will take it to my trusted mechanic for now on. I'm done with this place after this. If I had the time and venue I would do it myself but it's just not possible for me.

Understood at least they came up with something,i know what you mean by time there never is enough of it.I have not done my front end yet and i'm jonesen to put on my new wheels/tires but gotta find time to fix the front end first [a whole weekend without interuption] so i can concentrate on finishing it.

I pulled the mechanic aside and he says the only reason he thinks it happen is because the passenger calipers was not as greased as the driver side and it was sticking. I'm not an expert so I guess I believe him but I just can't help but think they cuased the problem in the first place.

I know in the past trucks 95-98 there was an issue with the calipers there was some made in Mexico and others in the USA the Mexican ones were sticking and T.S.B.s were issued [however dodge never did a recal] both my 95 ram dually and my 98 ram dually had this problem and i replaced it, you may want to check on the internet for ISSUES WITH A 19-- or 20-- RAM 1500/2500/3500 whatever your truck is you will get a list of TSBs and Maintance Bulletins then you can become educated on issues with your year truck so you can prove a point when arguing with the service guy. This works with all vehicles and it is a great tool.

Thanks I definitely will see what I can find. I feel a little better after the whole thing cuz I did raise a little hell at the end and got him to shave some more cost off. I will definitely be keeping an eye them now.
