Ok here is the story. About 8 months ago I put on BFGs from Town Fair Tire. I wanted to check my brakes last week but I couldn't get the lug nuts off, I mean it was well over 215 pounds because I was jumping on the wrench and bent it. Anyway I brought the truck to the dealer and they took them off and put them back on to spec. Ever since then I get a slight sqeak noise from the drivers side tire when I slow down and accelerate. Whats the problem? I was thinking that because the nuts were so tight that maybe I have a bent rotor. I have a 2000 D2 with 41K. Thanks for the help!!! | ||

Check the mud shields behind the rotor. On my D1, if you aren't careful when you remove/put back on the wheel, you can snag it on that shield ever so slightly bending it in toward the rotor. All I've ever had to do was give it a nice push away from the rotor and problem solved. Maybe it'll be this easy for you as well, and not another problem.. Good luck | ||

There is no way the lug nuts could have been tightned enough to damage the rotor! Warped rotors make a sound that increases and decreases with your speed. You should also feel a pulsing when you apply your brakes. This does not sound like your problem. Thanks, Mike B. | ||
