Is this normal? I had the job done at by the dealership where I bought my truck and was wondering if I need to take it back or not?

Probably need a new Johnson rod. Pretty common after a brake job actually. Will run about $350, give or take.

Take it back. They shouldn't be making noise.

Find an empty road and do some hard stops. Should take care of it.

Did you get cheap brakes or did you pay good money? Cheap brakes squeak no matter what you do.

Your calipers slide on pins. If they're not lubed, it won't matter if your brake pads are made of vasoline. It'll squeak..

Did they top off the brake light fluid?

If it doesn't straighten out in a day or so, take it back....there is a tube of shite that they are supposed to apply to the back of the new break pads to prevent that....

You probably got cheap brakes

I wasn't even asked what kind I wanted. It's been a year and they still squeak. Pisses me off
