Squealing brakes on a 2008?
ive had my truck for about 3 months now and the brakes are squealing when i stop... it doesnt go on for long only a little but it bothers the hell out of me... any input on this on how i could fix it? or should i just take it to the dealer?

my 2006 colorado also did this after i had it for a few months... i hated that but i thought gm would have looked into their full size trucks a bit more... anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

mine does this too but it is only when i first drive it. a lot of times it is just water that settles on the rotors and it stops once it all evaporates. also i know for me it has something to do with the 35's because its only when i apply slight pressure right before it stops.

thank the tree huggers, not that it is super common but brakes are more likely to squek nowadays then before because of envirnmental concerns with chemicals used to stop brakes from squeking, that is part of the reason anyway

I also find that if I'm light on the brake, they'll tend to squeal more--especially after rain or a wash. I try to brake more firmly to keep them from squealing.

Mine does it to, taking it to the dealer will only fix it for a short moment. i had mine checked when i took it in for maintenance 2 check up. didnt squeal for a week or two but does it again. after driving it a bit and doing a lil braking i dont notice it. only hear it when its been sitting when the rotors are cool.

Try some brake cleaner then drive in reverse at a high speed slam the breaks. It might work. Doing that might knock out what ever has built up on the rotors or pads.
