mike mik@localnet.com stated which i commented on below it seems dodge had a problem with the rear drums warping. if you put new drums on the rear they will warp also. have the rear drums machined and that should take care of the problem. had the same problem with my new 2006 ram srt-10 sb. all four were warped. they couldnt cut them because they dont have the machinery at the dealer to cut 17 rotors. had to order new ones. prob is gone but fear if it comes back ill be faced with the same issue. one good thing about it is they must give me new rotors if i need rotors again under 12000 miles factory warranty limit. hopefully they wont be warped. from what ive heard i understand if rotors are cut on the truck rather than off it ensures the best matched trueness. please correct me if im wrong. ace .
