Default Odd noise right after braking.

Hoping you guys can help with this one... I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 and I just had the brakes done. (new rotors and new pads - front and back) Now, I am getting an odd shaking and loud noise right after I lift my foot off the brake pedal. It only lasts asecond or two.

For example, if I'm at a stop light, the truck will be completely stopped. When the light turns green and I first hit the gas to start moving, a rattling/rubbing sound will start and then go away.

Here's the kicker... It only happens once in a while and I notice it mostly after driving a while (does not happen first couple miles with starts/stops). After reading through the servicemanual a little, the first thing that caught my eye were the anti-rattle springs between the pads. If those are broken or not properly installed, what would happen?

Any thoughts? thanks.

If you just had the brakes done and it started afterwards i'd just take it back and tell them they need to fix it.

thanks... I was just hoping to understand a little about the problem before I take it back.
