Mine used to do it. But when I took my wheel and crap off to paint my caliper I cleaned some crap with soap and water and sprayed it all down with brake cleaner, then I hosed it down. It quit.

alot of times, a small pebble might get stuck in there and cause some squealing

I think our OEM brake pads suck!! really, they have gone really fast on mine, but for the squealling matter, I used to take the caliper apart and clean them really well with sand paper and reinstall, right now I changed them to Raybestos and they have finally stopped that squealling that was driving me nuts.

I knew it was coming from somebody lol. You can't be hard on my accelerator... truck just makes alot of noise, but doesn't really go anywhere lol. But what keeps happening to my brakes, is ex. I will get off the highway and lightly hit the brakes and the truck will start rumbling horribly from 55-25mph... Or another ex. I can be driving through a neighborhood and go to hit the brakes and the truck will shake and rumble from 25-0. Dodge just keeps replacing the rotors and pads, and they hold up for 10k or so.
