It's just that every time in my life that I had a Chryster or Mopar vehicle, I constantly had stupid things fail on the vehicle for no peculiar reason. That is why I have no faith in this manufacturer.
Yes, they do make the best looking pickup truck in the industry, I'll give you that, but for dependibility they suck.
Give me a Nissan any day of the week.

He didnt say it was the ebrake. the last time he had it fixed it was his rear rotors being badly corroded. I agree with seanw727 about having the truck sitting too long, probably outdoors. If you look at a vehicle that sits and/or is not driven daily such as in the op's case look at the rotors. Even brand new vehicles at the dealership have rotors that start to have rust buildup. Now the first few times you use the brakes it removes the surfauce rust and your good to go again. So to the OP if your letting your truck sit "that long" that your rotors are getting surface rust "that bad", my suggestion isnt to bash mopar but just take it for a little spin every now and again. A quick way to get the rust off of your rotors is to hold the brakes on lightly while driving down the road, this drag should engage the rear brakes enough to clean the rotors off.

I will try the procedure about slightly applying the emergency brake while moving slowly to see if it helps to remove the noise and problem. Will let all know what happens. Thanks.

My truck has been doing this since the first drive after putting on new rotors and pads. It only does it first roll in the morning or after sitting several hours. When I hear the noise I swear I will fix it, but it always keeps getting pushed back.

Also, what brand rotors and pads did you put on? Not bashing on AdvanceAuto or Autozone... But i havent always had the best luck with the cheap-o rotors (even though they're expensive).... Sometimes factory is the best way to fix a problem. But if it is factory parts maybe consider upgrading to a higher-end pad.
