Since day one my van had a bit of squeal when coming to a dead stop (2018 2500, passenger van with a very moderate build out). It seems to be getting louder and worse now. When I brought this up to dealer (since it's going in next week for other unrelated work) he said that was normal and there was no fix. That it tends to be worse in the cold weather (and that does seem to be true). Something about the weight of the van and that the rotors are hard while the are pads soft.
This sounds like nonsense to me, but I'm not a mechanic. I know on other cars one can use certain products when placing brake pads to eliminate or stop braking noise. So am I off on this? Is there no solution? I'd imagine that although expensive there could or would be an aftermarket rotor swap that would eliminate this?
Would love to hear what you all have found, done, or are experiencing.
