right rear brakes applied without pedal application
Truck will start to shutter after driving for 8 miles or so. Discovered today that there was the smell of burnt brake pad when exiting the cab. Close inspection showed the left rear brake was blistering hot and the rotor showed signs of overheating and bluing. Evidently it was binding hard enough to cause the shuddering. I have yet to take it to the dealer. I will do that within the next couple of days.
Update from May 17, 2017: Dealer replaced both right and left brake calipers as well as the brake pads and turned the rotors. Brake fluid was flushed and all is working well.
Props to 5 Star dodge in Warner Robins, Georgia. Great job!
