"With the ban on asbestos a few years back friction material reacts differently than it used to. Some of the new car dealers have been plagued with the problem for several years. If the grab is only for the first few stops when they are cold you can live with it or change the shoes untill you find a brand that is not moisture sensitive. From past experience we have found that the higher quality linings seem to be the worst. Because the rear brakes don't wear out very fast on the rams we are currently using the wagner quardian brand of shoe. We haven't had problems with these. The least amount of problems is with the shoes that we reline in our own shop. The bendix economy grade also hasn't given any problems."

This sounds like it might just be my problem. Since befor the truck was drove we were having 30+ mph winds with heavy rain for hours on end. I beleve the water was being blown into the disc brakes and it was cold out near the mid 30s. Time will tell after a few tests with a hose on a cold dry night. Mark H.
