Truck just went out of warranty. The usual brake shudder (pulsating) started up again (Dealer did the TSB 10K miles ago). So, as suggested here in this group, had a NAPA facility install their pads and heavy duty rotors. Whew, black dust is heavy, but I am also getting a noise while driving, that sounds like a bowl of BBs being spilled out on glass. If I tap the brakes, it stops. It happens only occasionally, but is this something to be concerned with? Also am getting a slight squeel just before coming to a full stop, but that is curable by spraying the dust off the rotors, at least it works for a couple days. The NAPA service advisor claims these noises are just something in the world of brakes that you have to live with, like the constant black dust? Thanks.
